nice work!
where were broken the frame? a crack near the toptube weld to the seatTube?

dansim · Jul 27, 2014

Yep top tube to seat post

Seems like an odd place to break.
Maybe not enough seat tube in.

well i thought that but who knows

Weren't most of these sold at silly cheap prices by on one with a warning that cracking is likely and offering no warranty?

Admire the work a lot I really do. But just don't see any alu frames being worth the hassle repairing.

Re:

I can see the appeal fir you as its free!

But don't you ever worry it will fail in one big go. Especially if used "properly"

Re:

Nah never bothered cos both frames I've welded where the crack has never been a huge crack plus I dont do huge jumps or drop offs 2 3ft drop offs is enough for me
