Is that because the cost of the repair is likely to equal the price of a second hand Raleigh frame? Cheers

It's because I thought it would be funny to answer with exactly what you expected to be told.
I can tell you that years ago I had a frame repaired and it cost maybe £70, which was probably a good chunk of the value of the whole frame. So the question is: how much is the frame, is it worth repairing (to you)? Maybe sentimental value will add some value. Maybe you can find a cheap repair. Personally, I like to repair rather than replace but if one part has failed, you will have to ensure other bits aren't also on the way out, ie. does the bike have rust damage that makes it less sensible to repair one break, because it might fail soon after elsewhere?
hippy
it'd be better to just get a new frame
