MK1 S&M Holmes frame resto

(1/1)

kev-s:
Turns out my mk1 s&m holmes frame needs some work!





I noticed a few issues with it so after stripping off all the paint it looks like this









Now here's the first part that needs repairing, nice crack halfway around the seat stay tube





On the underside of the chain stays there are two flat spot/dents







Also once stripped i found this repair (had and idea as i could kinda feel it through the paint work)





As you can see the dropouts and drive side chain stay have seen some action













So it looks like it has seen some street action in its life


The plan is to get it to Sawzall this week or the next for him to repair the crack and two dents


Not sure what im gonna do about the dropouts at the moment, may leave them as is

nosepickben:
I like the wonky letters in the serial number!!

kev-s:
Lol they must of been a bit hungover when they stamped it
