@Chris.
Crashed my On-One Pompino a couple of months back and managed to damage the frame slightly. Got a new frame and forks now (same again) but I still have the old one and was wondering if it could be repaired.
The damage comes from an impact to the front (concrete island in middle of road), so the top tube has bent ever so slightly downwards from about 2 inches away from where it meets the head tube. There is also a tiny crack at the welding point there.
I didn't notice at first so it can't be that bad, only when my toes hit the front wheel when I was stationary and turned the handlebars did I see it.
So can anything be done to rectify it, or is the frame totally screwed? Can post up some photos too if that helps, but it's just like I described above.
I found someone else had a similar problem here: http://www.lfgss.com/thread11448.html
Should I just throw some cheap parts on it and keep as a beater? It still rides, just not as well as before...
Thanks.
