Title: Good welder needed
Post by: Frosty on October 30, 2006, 12:45 PM

OK before I speak to Rod of Rodz repair fame, I figured I'd better ask here if anyone can recommend a welder to repair my Patterson.

It has had a repair weld made to the downtube, just behind the headtube, but it is not good enough to be invisible when I get it rechromed!

I need someone who is going to do a top job and not screw the frame up - obviously.

Any recommendations, pictures of previous work and an idea of price would be greatfully received.

here's what I need either finishing, or re-welding on the Patterson and also a closed Kuwi drop out that looks like it may have cracked.
