Re: is a late 80s Kestrel 200 considered retro here ?
that was Kona IM 2005 , last time I raced the old beast . Its new owner loaned it out and it returned with a de-bonded BB shell , the carbon was all intact but the alloy threads were no longer glued to the carbon , he then gave it back to me and I have decided to repair it as a pure triathlon bike(I use carbon/epoxy every day in my business )

As per the earlier question - is that whole frame foam-filled then?
We've been waiting for a colleague to upgrade his Planet X because he's promised us the old frame so that we can slice it down the middle.
Ok, now my ears have pricked up, because so do Ilatman":2maig60n said:

Re: Re:
I fitted a carbon tube into the bb (it already had a glass wrap to keep it away from the carbon) it needed a few wraps of masking tape to be snug then i measured 40cm either side of the shell and used those points for "squareness" whilst the epoxy glue set
