No one is contesting your assertion that your Laser has no bondo, But it was stated that Brian Baylis restored one and said that one had bondo. Brian is one of the best framebuildrs in the universe. If he says it was bondo, that one was bondo.

Dear Mr. Bulgier:
I have carefully examined and applied a magnet to my Laser and found no bondo, or any similar product. In future I will publish pictures of the magnet applied to various parts of the surface.
All I ask is a photo of a Laser showing evidence of bondo.
Where's the beef?
Sincerely,
