I've been looking for over a year for a new frame that I like and today it arrived in the post. It's gorgeous.
Started to build it up and... No, you can't be fucking serious, the right hand seat stay has sheared where it meets the seat tube...
I think the happened in transit. The package was insured to the money shouldn't be a problem.
Just livid that i finally find a frame and it's fucked.
Rang up BJ and they said 65 for a new seat stay, but then I need money for it to be couriered and a respray too. About £170 in total.
Seems a lot, could almost buy a new frame for that. Is there a cheaper option? Weld? Would this work? (Obv not but worth a shot)
Could then use this frame as a hack.
Thanks,
Jim
