Hey Guys,
Have just been woking my way through the thread, thinking I should introduce myself, then noticed I already had! My bad, I haven't been back here for a while.
Just to follow up, my quest for tiny frame is (sort of over). Managed to buy a lovely Jack Taylor frame on here a few days ago. A wonderful 18inch frame! Only problem is, it has a crack in the seat tube. An unanticipated crack, I may add (another issue). Here's a pic:
I don't *really *know what to do about it. I've taken it to my LBS and the guy there has offered to have a good look at it and see whether it would be possible to drill a hole just beneath the crack to stop it going any further. What do you guys think of this as a solution? My other options are having something brazed on over it, to brace it, or even a completely new seat tube, which seems a little extravagant (too much £sss!)
Any opinions welcome! :)
