1982 loopy PK Ripper broken seat post disaster (seattube repaired)
NORTY40:
Nice one Patric :daumenhoch:
Maybe there is a reason behind it but why didn't you remove the whole seat post to the bottom bracket and replace it all like Andy had done on his vdc?
The main thing is the frame lives to see another day instead of going on the scrap heap :daumenhoch:
What's the plans for it mate ?

The reason to keep à piece of THE Seat tube ,and dont weld iT till THE bb was on advice of hè welder. Because hè told me by the temperature of THE alloy welding the BB could be damaged.
Crimping and deforming of the bb :-\
So i choose to take no risk ;)
Plans are THE questions ??? Painting or coating ???
What do you think
Joff. :)

I understand Patric , im not a welder so i wouldn't know . I guess alloy is a whole different ball game to steel , maybe if you had put some BB cups in , it would stop the the BB from deforming while he welded it :-\
My dream bike as a kid was a Baby Blue loopy ripper so i would be getting it done Baby Blue if it was mine :smitten:
Im sure it will turn out great whatever you decide mate :daumenhoch:

Yes but what do you think...
Painting or powder coating ... Coating is à bit thicker in layer , so iT cover THE welds more :)

Nice save Patric :daumenhoch:
Powder if you're gonna ride it
Paint if its a show pony
