Franklin frame quoted me a cost of $75 to replace a steerer tube and tap the new tube. Come on guys, don't be too cheap !! Just because the bike was cheap or the paint is nice, doesn't mean you should kluge the steerer and imperil your own life !! Put safety above aesthetics !! Restore the frame properly & maintain the "vintage road feel" !!
