Cracks in frame - what yer think ?

(1/3) > >>

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN:
Right I would like to get your thoughts on this !
Seems to be two cracks, one either side of the gusset plates ?
I take it that its had a hard landing at some point and the welding had cracked !

So best way around it ? It would be painted, but would the crack show if ridden ?
Safe to ride in your eyes
What would it take to fix ? Or would it be needed to be fixed ?

Cheers B

Down tube joint seems fine so i say ride it unless you plan some serious ramp stuff  :daumenhoch:

Ride it as it is B, go off a few kerbs, you'll soon realise it's future.  :daumenhoch:

BADDH:
I wouldn't rule out a couple of spots of weld working from the inside of the plate just to secure it, failing that send to the main man. ... :daumenhoch:

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN:
Cheers Dan, give me hope or fear of hell  :LolLolLolLol:

Yer a couple of weld spots might do the trick

But I would ride hard ( like I do anyway  :whistle:) so it might be fine !

But it's always nice to get some others thoughts on it - cheers Guys

Anyone else is welcome to chip in  :D
