Has anyone had any problems with the head tube of their Brompton. My dad managed to get a serious crack in the head tube on his. He took it to an alu welder who welded the crack. My dad wasn't fully happy with the work so he brazed a steel band around this to help support it. Sadly its gone again.
After speaking with Brompton he said they will do a full service for £280 however the part that he needs work done to is an old design which they don't stock and so they would have to move all his parts over onto a new frame. This seems daft for such a small part.
Does anyone know of a place that might be good for spares or would it be a case of keeping an eye out someone breaking a frame? I can't believe it will be a write off for having to replace such a small part.
Any help?
