Picked up this project bike to tear down came across some electrical tape wrapped aroubd the main Tube frame proximal to the rear.
Some people should not work on these bikes. Any suggestions to why someone would do this? can I washer weld to patch it or run a bolt through it. Any ideas? I was planning on repainting the frame.
I saw one engineering site that said if you divide that section inter 1/3 the middle 3rd is the worst spot and where this hole is should be OK? the hole is about 3/8 diameter tight through the top and bottom.
Even the wiring on this bike is butchered with poorly made connectors and cheap wires. arrgh.
I have pics just trying to figure out how to post here.
