What do you need welding?

Welding an aluminium frame is only half the job, most places can do this.

It does dunny things when heated up in different places. Once it's been welded it's recommended to be heat treated.

Its the heat treatment that's difficult to arrange on such a small item and often expensive. It also destroys the paintwork

its not a high-tech alloy.

I can't recommend Halston enough, Calvin welded my sons Canyon Spectral 12 months ago and it still going strong.
