I was cleaning my bike today and found the frame is cracked !!!
my seatpost tube is at a severe angle and it has cracked above and below downtube
the cracks wrap all the way around the seat tube
I dropped my seat all the way down hoping to re-inforce it a little
my question is , if I weld the cracks, should I make some kind of wrap-around gusset to strengthen it ?
I'm thinking wrapped around seat tube above downtube,and welded to downtube
as of rt now I am off the road and very bummed
I can't take a pic rt now cause the cam is in canada with vinnie
but here is a pic showing where cracks are
