Frame Repairs

My freind recently found his Dad's old track bike in his shed. It seems to be pretty good but the frame has rusted through one of the 'seat stay' tubes at the back of the bike. Is this something that can be repaired or is the frame a right off? If this can be fixed does anyone know how much it would cost?

Thanks guys.

theres not a lot that can't be fixed...it justs depends on how much you want to spend.

Jackson's quote £65 for a single and £95 for a pair (inc. bridge)
I guess prices round london would be about the same

Hi Aidan,

Oh right. Have you got any idea how much it would cost to fix? Or who could fix it?

Cheers.

CHeers Fruitbat, that doesn't sound too bad!

Whitcomb (they're in London) charges a bit more than that. 100 for a single stay I think it is. Mercian's prices are similar to Jackson. Dave Yates is a bit more. Have a look at Argos' website too, and Chas Roberts possibly? I don't know if they repair.

I put the Jackson price up because they list them online.
I used Witcomb for the new tube in my Jackson. He charged about £100 for a new top tube.

Atlantic Boulevard will probably be cheaper than those already mentioned. 0161 762 0456.

Excellent.

Cheers guys, that's wicked.

Not bad for a top tube: I thought Witcomb was a bit more expensive than that. Maybe he liked you.

Which is £30 I think. I used them for a re-spray a couple of years ago and was very impressed with them.
