Even more so, why was it taken to an alu welder? Crazy.
And secondly, why did he not contact Brompton after it happened?
Head tube is a small part in size that can also be replaced. Not a reference to importance.
I have spoken with him again and I misunderstood what he meant. He took it to someone who did some aluminium welding for him on another job, hence why he told me he had sent it to the aluminium welder.
Brompton have said they can't help unless he buys a new frame off them so taking it to the welder first made no difference.
I think the answer is, he will need to take it to a frame builder to build a custom part.
