Hehe, it’s facked!
I’d assume a new headtube would in order if you want to save it…. Will be expensive. And I’d want to be absolutely sure nothing else is wrong with it before undertaking the repair

Quotes £120 for new head tube and lugs

Put the badge on yer hat and recycle the rest.

could snap in two fairly soon
Perhaps stating the obvious. But it's done already. Do not ride this any further.

Front tyre is on backwards so basically unsafe to ride*
*Totally failed headtube might also gain the dreaded red label of death. So long as the other tubing hasn't been affected (possible if its been ridden at all like that) then your prob about £200 to get a framebuilder to chop out and braze something new in there, then paint it yourself. Might be worthwhile so long as rest of frame good, BB cluster ins't rotten etc. If not find another decent frame and swap your parts over in an evening

My Dawes frame is on the way out I reckon. I’m wondering if anyone thinks it’s salvageable? The pics show quite a decent crack which could snap in two fairly soon. Could this be welded?
