[6pack] Frame Rehab Advice

[Bruce Simms]

I would think bringing your 1970 frame up to CF series frame specs is a good
starting point for your work plan.  I didn't do a frame-off, and, consequently
ended up doing a series of as-required/as able frame repairs (4 jobs to
date).   
Not the best way to go.

Admittedly a frame-off requires more space,
labour and know-how, but if you've 
got the engine and tranny out, you're a
decent ways there.   Are you part of a 
club?  Club mates can be rounded up to
help with the bigger jobs.   Somebody 
will have been there, done that.

Does
your frame have any creases or damage from previous accidents?   The 
stresses
of these can sometimes take years to completely reveal themselves.
