correct me if i am wrong but isnt that not weldable (would need re heat treatment etc).

Vernon Barker should be able to repair that. He did a good job on my Klein!

Just bought this as a welding project , so it could all end in a tragedy.

So, basically, the bottom bracket has snapped off?

Good luck, Elma

I was going to buy it , but crack seems final from the poor pictures .

To fix it properly you need to aneal (sp) the whole frame afterwards. Just makes you think 'if the bb shell is damaged, what else could be damaged?'

It's 7005 aluminium, altough this needs heat treating to artificially age harden it, after a couple of weeks this will age harden naturally at room temperature.

I stand corrected!

Was interested as i have same frame, without the crack though
