stuff in frames
I have seen pictures of cut up frames and forks with newspaper and other junk that was in there from manufacturing.
I also know of a bike shop manger who was pranked by his co-workers (about 35 or so years ago)- He had one of the handmade Fishers- Procaliber or something? Anyhow, it was a very light and nice Tange Prestige frame-
Someone filled the seat tube with the cheap steel bottom bracket spindles (that shops used to stock) wrapped in shop rags. As many as could fit in the seat tube.
No one ever cracked and told him- So they stayed there for years.
He eventually sold the frame, was cleaning and inspecting, took the seatpost out of the bike and turned it over.
Out came a bunch of rusty water, rusty rags, and rusty bb spindles onto the floor-
