I heard if you fill the toptube with water and plug it and put it in the freezer it can push the dents out so here we go........

Well after a couple of goes in the freezer and nothing  happened  i decided to try another method. I drilled a hole in the tube opposite one of the big dents to see if i could tap the dent out from the inside which worked a bit but not enough to do it on all the dents....

that looks sweet...... you could have took it to a body shop, and they may have been able to pull those dents out, with those spot welder rivet thingies and a slide hammer!  :daumenhoch:

I'm a bit of a chrome addict when it comes to frames

but T/A's look the mutts in white  :smitten:


As for what CW bars are on yours I'd definatelt agree with Andy (Delray),, those look like expert 8" rise as opposed to the 9" pro's
I've had 2 expert and 3 pro size sets of CW's  and they're easy to tell apart  :daumenhoch:

Good luck with the build , so far so very good  8)

you should be able to tell if they c dubs with nice welds and criss cross knurling on the stem area.

i take it the damage was'nt mentioned to you when you bought the T/A .
bad that is.

Beat me to it Dave

Criss cross knurling = CW's  ;)

Those don't look genuine from the upsweep angle  from the stem area ( too square )


Mind you they weren't CW money , so no probs there  :daumenhoch:
