my GT Xizang frame is back from repair! (pic's added)

[gaf16]

picked the gt xizang frame up from rolls-royce aerospace this morning.
their top titanium welder has worked wonders
he has cut out the old burnt through hole and welded in a reinforcing patch.
he has also replaced the burnt and cracked cross brace with a new ti tube.
the welding is as good as the original welds.
they have saved my blushes to be honest.
turned what could have been a £130 bad buy into a nice titanium frame again.
off to the polishers tomorrow.
my xizang lives on!

Was it easy to get RR Aerospace to oblige, or do you know the guy personally?
I work for a helicopter company - I wonder if any of the welders could help me out should the Vit needed it... :?:
