jyea

kinda bummed to realize that this is where the squeaking noise was coming from, thought it mightve been my loose cranks.
even if I could weld this hunk of junk, anyone know what thats gonna be?
Tips on shops or bins where I can find a frame is also appreciated. Thanks...

All frame makers will be able to repair it. Argos in Bristol do. It will require a new seat tube though. £80-100+

Ouch, not good. Like others have said, a frame builder should be able to sort it for you.
The question you have to ask yourself is:

Do I pay to get it fixed, or do I use this as an excuse to treat myself to a new frame?

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:

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.
