Bent seat tube

I have a couple of these

The stones are too fine a grit to do anything but polish tubing but I fook them off and glue small strips of emery cloth to the 3 feet.
Work great on seat masts, quick, easy and reach further than you would ever put a post :daumenhoch:

What a fooker! I had the same on a RL-20 once.....it's nigh on impossible to spot! I ruined 1 seatpost before I realised what was up. I resorted to grease and mallet technique to get another one in. It never went down as far as I would have liked.....Hope you sort it somehow :daumenhoch:

Gutted for you Neil especially as you’ve taken so much time to make sure every detail is spot on with this build, but like Damo said, these things are virtually impossible to spot.
On the plus side, you’re an experienced bike builder and you’ve put it out there on :radbmxsmilie: where others can offer advice from their experiences.
I think you’ll know what to do without damaging the powder.
Good luck fella
