Need someone to repair my frame

Hey there,

My polo frame has cracked (again) where the seat stays join the seat tube. it's been fixed before by just wacking a load of braze onto it and I'm looking for someone to repeat the process - the last fix lasted 4 years which is pretty good going I think. Spoke to a frame builder the other day and he said he thought the best course of action would be just to take off as much of the existing braze as possible with a wire angle grinder attachment and then put some more braze on. Not looking for anything particularly fancy, a bodge job is fine.

If anyone's up for doing it then send me a quote.

Best,
Robbie

Without wishing to be an insufferable negative nancy (just call me nancy) brass isn't going to stop that propagating, and welding it will create an unsuitable HAZ, so not sure how salvedgable it is without new seat tube :(

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
