hello people in my computer, tony ba57ard was going to scrap this lts1 frame. the plastic and fibres had started to separate but the frame had not failed.....yet!
i figured we had nothing to loose :?
i tried a few different products.....including mipa clearcoat, thinned so it would penetrate the fibres before curing, but it was too soft (tested on some spare fibres i got my hands on)
finally settled on glass resin, poured into the frame walls from the inside, and stippled to remove any air. then sanded but left enough material to do the job.
let's see how long it lasts!!!
before you all start going on about h&s issues......this is now a shop/pub bike with gentle road only riding. if you are scared of a bike accident....stay indoors!!!
