Ok,
My lovely ti frame has developed a hairline crack 90 deg across a weld on the seat / top tube interface which has propagated 0.3/0.5mm either side into the tube – its been there a while I think as I had convinced myself it was just a deep scratch and as its withheld riding lakes / snowdon / ingleborough / and a lot of mid welsh trails I wasnt too bothered…
However its def a crack as it gathers dirt and now ‘stands out’ – I had hoped it was a scratch but gentle sanding has revealed its def a wee hairline crack.
Anyone suggest a decent repairer in the uk? Enigma / vernon baker come up on google… Anyone had a repair done – cost etc? I have emailed the manufacturer and am waiting to see what price they quote me.
Gutted really but hey hbo its hard a tough life with many miles
cheers
paul
