Drop outs not looking like a chewed up bumhole and cracks around the seat tube area. That's a start ;)

if ya looking at loopies then look out for snapped seatpost's and crack/snap where box section meets rear loop oh and messed up dropouts cause people don't know how to use drop out savers.  Make sure the LG's aren't snide too ;)

Good point on the LG's, 3 holes in drop out not 4

Ah gents! thanks for all the info...some food for thought, eh?!

So i need a loop tailed one, with stamped LG forks? Or were the early ones un-stamped?

these caught my eye...not sure if they are over priced though?:

unstamped ones for early loopies, just let a mint polished one with proper chrome lg's go for nearly 4 and a half hundred so expect somewhere round that price range unless I got had  :LolLolLolLol:
