Title: Thrillseeker
Post by: insectbones on April 16, 2016, 03:52 PM: Got this posted to me in a bin bag a couple of weeks ago.

2002 WTP Thrillseeker, completely original and little used judging by the little wear on the grips, pedals and pegs.

21 inch top tube, in raw. Has that nice smattering of ginger pubes that a raw frame gets, on the front end but the rear end, seat post and BB are rusted to fook and the lacquer is shot.

Gonna strip it and see if I can sort the rear end out. All the other bits will clean up pretty well with just a good wash I think.

Maybe just left outside for a long time.

Nice paint job and refit the parts and it will cool.

I'm gonna keep it raw though :daumenhoch:
