There's a hairline crack coming out of the side of the circle at the base of the slot in my seat tube. No idea how it got there (loads of seat post beneath it), but I increased it in length from 3 to 6mm by poking at it. Clever me.
So...
I figure it's an easy repair that can probably be done by any half-decent welder at half the price of a frame repairer. Which brings me neatly to my question - does anyone know any welders in Bristol who might be able to have a crack at this for me?
alloy or steel?
Steel.
I'm currently going through the Yellow Page's 'Welders' listing...
Don't really want to go to Argos due to price. I'm skint and reckon a bog standard welder will be cheaper.
Thanks anyway.
