Had a quick chat with brompton tech department, and am currently waiting for them to reply to the email I sent following a conversation with a nice guy there.
As I could expect / already knew, despite their good reputation, and despite my good ol' "Le Brompton" celebrating its 20st birthday (exactly now, it was manufactured in may 1992), there is nothing they can suggest appart from getting a new one, or getting a old shitty brompton as a part donor (we know that doesn't exist unfortunately)... He even advised against swaping the faulty frame part, argueing that other parts may start to fail shortly (handle bar support, rear triangle, etc...)
I can't let it die like this! Who knows a really good welder? I know, the answer is UTFS, but...
I am sad sad sad...
