Cracked 531 frame. Anyone want it?

Hi
I've got a 22.5" holdsworth 531 frame that had any unfortunate accident with a minicab. The headtube has cracked along the line of the headtube/downtube lugging. Check the pix. The crack is about 270 degrees the circumference of the tube. I've had quotes from various places to get it repaired but all they're well out out my poor man's budget. So before I skip/recycle it, does anyone here want it? It's free, you just need to come and collect it from Archway/Crouch End. Cheers.

possibly, also thinking of if its worth it, would be to small for me any way, but if its an old beauty it should ride, so if could restore it then find a home for it maybe...

t's a Holdsworth Corsair from the late 80s/early 90s, so no classic I'm afraid, but it rode real nice. I don't remember the lugging being compromised, but I'll double check tonight.

It's be great if someone could restore, bastardize or use for spare steel, but I do realise that at some point there's nothing else you can realistically do....
