Any Updates To Pass Along?

My Pro Thunder 3 is 13/16"

You can buy them from Pork Chop either straight or laid back

Either fit a shim - I got one with an Elina seatpost / saddle which can be used.  Alternatively try and get hold of an original MK2 Raleigh Burner seat post which is between a 13/16 and 22.2mm.  You have to make sure it's an original Raleigh one though as most people who sell Burner seat posts will tell you 22.2mm fit, and they don't - they are too big! 

Best bet probably would be to fit a shim to the 13/16, unless you are going to ride it hard it should be fine - in any case the frame will probably break before the shim

nice for project. If I didnt just pick up my Stu, I would yak eit off your hands ( if it were still around) My friend had a pro thunder just like that. Thats like 83/84. I remember he got punched in the face by some punk and the guy stole it from him .. we chased him but he out rode us .... crazy memories.

Probably going to do a Moose tribute.  Not sure I want to spend the money on the powder, but black should work with any color combo.  I have a lot of yellow (Tuffs) or gold components to use.  Need to find some bars that go with the theme.

If anyone wants the cranks PM me.

Don't paint it! Those are not that easy to come by!

I doubt it is going to clean up very well.  The down tube has been welded.  I am tired of cleaning and polishing.  I want to bolt something together that ia ready to go. 

I suppose I can mix up a batch of OA and see if it helps.

OA can do amazing things. But, if there are frame repairs I can see why you'd want to go the powder route. To be honest, putting $$ into that is for pure pleasure, you'll never be able to get it back, or even close. ;-)

You are exactly right, whatever I put in it I may as well flush down the toilet.    But seriously I like the way it rides, like an old person who had a bad back 20". 

Before I get it powdered I may try and spray it, my brother gave me an old paint gun.

I still have to check out the welding to see if its decent and going to hold up.  It was not described in the sale at the time I bought it.
