As I couldn't be arsed paying Condor £415 for a new frame, I went down the following route.
Used a hacksaw blade to get the shim out. It's 60mm long, and glued in.
Removed the paint to see the extent of crack.
Then I drilled holes to stop the crack spreading. Used it like this for a while.
Decided to get it sorted/bodged properly, and took it to Ted James who brazed it up, and added a pseudo lug over the top of the joint.
Will see how long it lasts, but it's better than throwing the frame out, I guess.
