Hey, Is this repairable?

chris crash · 20th August 2008

kind of.

a frame builder can remove and re-weld the seat stay. this will cost lots.

lukerative · 20th August 2008

damn. 'lots' eh?

better off buying a new frame i suppose.

super ted at FGL might be able to do something with it

^ +1

its worth giving him a call, could save you a load of money

Brucy · 20th August 2008

strip it down and give it to me.

Brucy · 20th August 2008

And 15 quid and i will fix for yer.

BringMeMyFix · 20th August 2008

Should've bought aluminium :p

lukerative · 21st August 2008

is that serious? Brucy?

can i leave the headset and cranks on?

£15 is cheap I got a quote from someowhere in lincolnshire for £30 to fix it+ £10 to repaint that section. but the problem would be gettgin the frame all teh way to Lincolnshire! which is going to cost loads.

lukerative · 21st August 2008

You don't need to replace the entire seat stay just the top eye.
