• That's actually a fucking good idea, and probably cheaper than getting a speciallist Ti welder onto the job.

    Well done that man!

  • Not sure how you would get the tube in though...

    Guessing you would have to de-bond the seattube and seat stays? Maybe not so cheap...

  • I think if the Ti tubes are vaguely close to a standard diameter then finding a length of carbon tube could be easier, if it's custom dia then it'd be a case of getting one made £££ or a slightly slightly larger tube being sanded down. Old Alan/TvT frames have been fixed by tube replacements like that but they might be flexier (plus conventional skinny tubes i guess)

    Either way, I don't think you'd necessarily have to de-bond the entire frame but no, probably not cheap.
