Re: Vector which was "living in bike-hell" score !!
After having contact with the Vector man Joe this frame is a Vector Mark II 3rd gen.
Breakdown and mentioned it had a stucked seatpost. With some attention the seatpost could be easily removed with the slide hammer
When I was starting removing the paint I mentioned a strange welding on the left side of the frame. Could be of a sidehack bitd ?
Pic so far for now, Stripping the paint
and the seat
