How bad does this rust look (breakaway clamp area)?

[paredown]

Been watching this frame on eBay--and am a little leery because of this rust area. (Unfortunately no inside the BB shot--I've asked the seller for another pic.

Looks really bad to me.
Notice the paint chip with the rust as well. This makes me think everything between the breakaway and paint chip could be rusted.

unless its like 10 bucks, id walk away for sure.

[CiclistiCliff]

It's dead. Rusty headtube as well.

Why throw away 10 perfectly good dollars?

That looks like a complete disaster at any price.

Not to mention this less-than-accurate "description" of the condition by the seller:

"This frame is in good shape but it needs paint. There are some rust areas that are OK right now but need to be addressed to prevent them from becoming a problem. A quick powder coat job can address that for roughly $120 or so which includes the sand blasting."

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

The breakaway clamp itself is rusted.

That's good for tetanus, and that's about it.

Good lord that thing (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Custom-Made-Tallerico-Road-Racing-Frame-With-Ritchey-Breakaway-Couplers-Light/152724340704?hash=item238f147fe0:g:9oYAAOSwKcdZ0Bn G)is a mess.

I agree, not worth throwing even $10 away. Life's too short. Plus trying to sell that thing, completely glossing over the condition and having some suspect feedback, stay away.

Would love to see that DT after it was sand blasted ;)

Tough crowd--but thanks. :banana: Probably saved me from a big disappointment.

Agree with all above. Wouldn’t touch it with a 10 foot pole.

[cachagua]

Not with two 5-foot Swedes!

[tailingloop]

If you want vertical compliance, maybe not so bad.

[Matthew]

Who would even sell that thing and feel comfortable doing so? I wouldn't even give that away.

[Big Dan]

Just put Campy on it.
It'll be fine.

:eek:

[jumphigher]

Frame is toast, imo.

[Mzilliox]

Wow. Lesson learned. I'll be watching mine carefully. That is crap
