Congrats on your fist trip down chemical street and welcome to burnt finger city now you've officially graduated from taking NOS bits out the box and bolting them together...
Before you skip the frame, bring it to the fix-it tent at MK and see what the master-bodgers think, ie Steve Animal, Simon Hootski and the master of masters Phil the man Sawzall. It depends if you want it all NOS looking or survivor I suppose?
See you at the 'Pad bud ;-)

don't worry Spen - i won't be skipping it! will be bringing it with me to MK in case any of the 'master-bodgers' you mentioned think it can be saved economically
dave reckons it could maybe be filled with a bit of weld and ground back down (not sure if that would work for the crease in the downtube too ;D)
chrome would be gone, but in any case the chrome is really not in great shape to start with
on the plus side the asco looks in much better nick - some bits of rust on it but they've been coming off with a thumbnail :daumenhoch:

I mix it in hot water Danny as the OA powder is a bit like sugar in that it dissolves better the hotter the water.

I usually wear those latex gloves to be on the safe side, you never know what you'll react to dermatitis is nasty.
I did give it a bit of a sniff to see what it smelt like, then thought I'd better look it up to see if I'd fooked up my breathing aparatus. :idiot2:
