Hi all. Some of you will have seen the Yo Eddy I recently won on ebay. Well it's arrived!
So, we knew it had the usual pin pricks in the seat tube but are there any other areas I need to look out for? As can be seen, the paint has a lot of worming and normally this doesn't concern me as plenty of steel frames I've owned have been affected but this is about the worst I've seen. Saying that, it's between the paint and surface so would do well to rust through right?
Plenty of other blemishes but none of it feels soft or flaky so I imagine if it was stripped and sanded it would be okay? My problem is I can't really go digging around for problems as that would mean no returns but I don't necessarily want scrap.
My heart says it's salvageable and should only need a lower seat tube, please reassure me!
