    Here is a tecate frame I came across last weekend.
    Do you think there is any hope for it?

    Very nice!! Sometimes when they're really bad, I wonder about the inside of the frame. But, I think yours will be just fine........

    That other posters frame, UGGH!!
    All our government does is distract us while they steal from us, misspend our tax $ and ruin our country

    this frame was in an island in the outdoor close to the sea, corosion works faster in this place!!
    I opened small holes to the frame to see if there was water inside the frame and drain it but it was dry. I thing it will work just fine.
    I have nothing else for this trike so for now it will be a spare frame..

    I didn't ask, but I think it is already spoken for. I'll let you know if that changes.

    While on the Tecate subject, what does the front hub look like on a disc brake year? Does the disc mount with 4 bolts instead of 3 like Honda? The reason I ask is, at that same scrapyard, there is a gold rim/front hub with FOUR bolt holes for a disc... any clue?
