great looking project... shame about the crack, but still worth a punt at that current price...

Alpinestars Al-mega DX 1991

nice just the size i'm looking for but :cry:

that crack looks to be trying to separate the top of the seat tube from the rest of the frame (the repair would be a very ugly one)

any thoughts on the viability of welding the frame?
this is near to me so may take a gander
i have a nice dx wheelset which would do fine
not sure about alu welding though
looks like a specialist job ? would be a shame to see it butchered for parts
and the frame scrapped.
paintwork etc looks half decent

The bike seems to have a good story too. Is this a common crack maybe caused by the cable hanger?
