PK Ripper........ Do i or Dont i ?

(1/5) > >>

FuNMoNsTeR:
As you probably know i have a Black Loopy ripper with original finish... Do i strip it and repowder or leave it? Do i just strip the top of the rear tri where the marks are and touch it up to try and keep as much of the original finish as possible?
   I also have a graphite Uni seat to remove.... I was going to saw it off about an inch above the seat tube and then give the remaining protuding piece a sharp whack straight downward with a soft Thor hammer... Do you reckon this will free it?  Any help or advice appreciated as always :)
Frameset



SeatPost


Rear Tri Marks

harris:
i would leave it as is.
cut the post     and run an undersized drill down it until its nearly throu   then hacksaw blade inside.

Frosty:
the frame looks pretty good, leave the patina!!

kdw712:
i'd leave it too - survivors are the best
build up with other parts that have the same kinda aged look to them


with the seat try everything before cutting it (not sure if you have already)

ORB:
I like taking stuck posts out, and it can be a bitch.

that is graphite me thinks, thus should be fairly easy, try a bit of petrol in there, that may help, then twisting in a vice, if that fails, try drilling it with care, then, a hack saw blade.

Some of them can be a bitch, but i think this one will let go.
