Hi all,

My friend has snapped a chainstay just before the drop out on an old Peugeot (Cro-mo i think). Firstly is it worth repairing? will it hold up for long?. Secondly is there anyone who has the skillz and gear to have stab at it. Payment can be given in biscuits and cans of second rate larger

cheers

Thanks for the advice rounce, I have however used the search. Pehaps It wasn't clear but what I was looking for was someone around Brighton who would be willing to carry out the repair if they deemed it salvagable.

Go speak to Rich at baker street.

He will probably tell you its not worth doing, especially if its only a cheapy frame, but at least then you get to go frame shopping!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
