I'm prepping my Dave Russell 653 for Eroica this year and to my shock have found that my drive side Chainstay has cracked underneath about 10mm from the bb lug.
The crack is about 15mm across, Naturally, I'm a bit concerned about riding now and also a bit gutted as the paint works in great condition.
I'll post a pic when I can.
Anyone had any experience having a welded temporarily, just to get through the event? - I will have the stay replaced and frame renovated but I'm a bit out of time for the ride!
Cheers
