I noticed a few issues with it so after stripping off all the paint it looks like this

Now here's the first part that needs repairing, nice crack halfway around the seat stay tube

On the underside of the chain stays there are two flat spot/dents

Also once stripped i found this repair (had and idea as i could kinda feel it through the paint work)

As you can see the dropouts and drive side chain stay have seen some action

So it looks like it has seen some street action in its life


The plan is to get it to Sawzall this week or the next for him to repair the crack and two dents


Not sure what im gonna do about the dropouts at the moment, may leave them as is
