Orange, potential little cracker?

[rwm1962]

I think it was the T2 that was more prone. I bought mine with a repaired weld & an unnoticed crack at top of seat tube. The old repair cracked again. Both repaired by a local pro.

"22 inch wheels", to be precise.

You lose two inches because the tyres are flat.

He's also got a pair of '22"' Carreras. Love the way all three old bikes listed at £60.

According to the FB thread the seller found it at the tip!! :shock:

^crazy if true. I am almost more interested in the back story of how a bike like this gets into such a state! or rather what happened to the original owner!
I hope the new owner is on here and posts the restoration.

Re:

The new owner has joined the retro orange FB page so I'll direct him this way.

Be warned - the buyer found a crack by the BB so didn't buy it & it's been relisted with no mention of the crack. Spares or repair. Still worth a punt I reckon.

Edit:. Auction title/description updated

Re:

Looking at the relist it's split right round the seat tube so toast I'd have thought? Won't be cheap to replace that!

Thats a crack!
