Torus frame cracked,is it f***ed?

Won't running the new weld along the length of the tube pull it all over the place?

It might not be cracked anymore, but it sure as hell won't be straight!

Re:

Pass, I'm no welding expert. The titanium bike frame welding experts didn't mention distortion as being a problem, only that it could last two years or two weeks.

Currently the frame is wall art, if the welds don't work it will still be wall art that cost £40 more.

I will do lots of before and after pics etc. Stripping down bike and dropping frame off beginning of next month.

Fingers crossed.
