Hey all, I was hoping for some advice on this damaged Saronni frame. I had it powdercoated about 18months ago at Armourtex, it appeared that they did a lovely job, but about 6months ago I noticed a rusty split appearing on one of the chainstays near the dropout. Upon closer inspection I saw that the surface was a little bit bumpy there, & when I picked at the split with a scalpel it flaked off & a rusty crack appeared & almost looks to have been eaten all the way around.
I have really little mechanical knowledge, but I'm wondering if this can be or even if it's worth trying to repair? I'm pretty broke & kind of need a bike.
I'm based in Berlin, & was also wondering if anyone has some English speaking contacts who might be able to advise on whether/how to fix it also.
Here are some photos, thanks for any suggestions:
