Title: Is this a pk reweld?
Post by: generallee on July 11, 2006, 04:55 PM

Ive just taken a look at this pk frame of mine - its the one I posted on here with the strange headtube collar - and it looks like this may be a reweld under the downtube? What do you think?

Sorry...... :-[

I am pretty sure that is a reweld aswell.

It also looks like it has been ground down, as it is not a good flow.
