how mashed is it ??

a decent Aluminum welder should be able to sort it

a few of the members on here have fixed em too, if it needs a complete new seat tube then there was someone selling em on here, can't recall the name of em???

it's not dead yet !!

alterantively send it in the mail to me and i'll bury it in my garden for you ! LOL !!

i had a look at that one nice work,has anybody had the work done on thier pk,
is it worth just getting the top rewelded,or going for the whole seatpost tube.

it would be cheaper to get just the top welded if you can get away with it ? mine just had a hairline crack which i got rewelded perfectly for a tenner, but it was done as a favour  ;)
