Actually a crack in a steel frame is usually a simple
and fast repair. Anymore it is about the only advantage a steel frame has
over cf or al. Although many tout the repairability of steel, it seems
that rarely do framebuilders take advantage of it. why take steel's main
advantage and through it out the window ! Steel frames are great!
Clean around the crack, make a little lap joint, and flow some silver in,
done. get riding again. 15 minutes, maybe 30 minutes if including chit
chat. I would hope 30 minutes of work would still be cost effective. It
is environmentally friendly also.
