Bike destroyers tell your story here...

That's right, I've fucked another frame! It's nicely snapped right through the chainstay (where it has been rewelded once already. I'm sure somebody told me welds are meant to be stronger than the metal itself?!) So that's another frame down the drain and I have no idea how long I've been riding it like that for!!

The weld itself may be strong, but the heat-affected steel around it probably won't be, especially if it's been re-brazed (thus two heating/cooling cycles). There's some pretty awful-looking corrosion around the break too.

The "correct" way to get it fixed would be to get a proper framebuilder to replace at least the snapped chainstay and probably the seatstay too with new tubes. Dave Yates lists repairs at £70 (single chain stay) to £230 (whole new rear end) - http://www.daveyatescycles.co.uk/repairs.htm . A car place probably won't be used to working with really thin steel - a sill, say, is a much bigger chunk of metal than a stay.
