Threaders' crackpot redline rl20ii restoration:)

Nice colour scheme, makes it a look a little bit different.
Is the top tube that bad structurally that you cant ride it? May be worth getting another opinion on that. Like Chubby said, you would think it would be fine for just cruising around.
threaders:
Thanks fellas. Yep I think the top tube is pretty bad. it had holes all along and on the underside as well as a few on the other top tube. I think it may have been fixable if the powder coaters had rung me after they had blasted it and before they powdered it, but now it's been done I don't have want to risk blasting it again. I gues is syn strip will work on powder, then maybe I could strip it my self and then have it done. The decals weren't to expensive and I would love it as my rider. The other thing is the forks though which I need a longer steerer for :daumenhoch:
fischflo:
yeah, do it right, its a frame that is worth some effort - pitted as i see, so get em filled. I don't know what the powder guy meant when he said 'maybe not safe to blast', cuz if its just pits i'd have him blast it - he owes you something...
If you want to strip the powder urself anyway
if synstrip wont work try this

I like it. :) If your happy with it then leave it. These things are 30 years old. :daumenhoch:

Have it soda blasted, anything is salvageable. Been there and resurrected a basket case myself...... Deep pockets needed, but very satisfying
