hello
Hopefully some one can help me out with some advice on this Condor 1977 road race (I think it is) frame I got off ebay a while ago. I am thinking of building it up and I went into Brixton Cycles and a helpful bloke there advised against it as there is crack just behind the seat post and seemed to think when tightening the seat bolt it was crack more.
I know nothing but I guess it would last a while... but I think it would cost more than the £100 the frame cost to get fixed.
Anyone had an experience with cracks on a frame in this area and do they get dramatically worse or will it last a while?
