Just re-read this whole thread. Really good stuff.
+1. This last thing looks like it could turn out nicely too! As I've mentioned in other threads, I've had a hole just like that welded and it held up fine. Remember to spray some frame saver or linseed oil inside the frame before you build it up later.
There's been a lot of rust rattling around the tube, dropping out into the bb shell etc. which is another reason I'm happy to take the easy route so to speak by just welding it up. Will definitely be spraying in a bit of framesaver before it get's built again.
