Title: Need help fixing a tiburon frame
Post by: Tom McKinney on June 11, 2015, 12:23:04 AM
Well now I know why this frame was so cheap on ebay.  It's got 2 or 3 screws that are snapped off and cored into the frame.m anybody here good at drilling them out and tapping the holes?  I have had success with sand blasting off the anodizing and baking on wheeler ceramacoat on another frame and want to save this one to do it again.

If nobody here close by. A local machine shop can handle that easily.

what i've been doing lately is to hit it with a torch, then spray "freeze off" and it's worked in quite a few cases.
