Post by: Stace on April 19, 2007, 06:57 AM

if for just show stace i fill ,but if you powder coat the filler can lift.
i have had some drilled and pulled with heat but very carefully.
some ive had the tubing replaced.

what i do is drop a weld in then carefully grind back. This is somthimg that needs to be done by an experienced welder. Cro mo tubing is paper thin on old school bikes and you can burn through in a flash! I have seen that a lot of frame repair's are done by throwing a small braise in too. Easily done by the right people.
