Any thoughts on repairability of this?
Recently picked up this frame and didn't notice this crack below the seat binder, which I think has grown a bit from the few rides I've had.

In touch with a local framebuilder in Sheffield who said he can try to fill it with braze, but might need a full seat tube replacement if this doesn't work.

Anyone had similar cracks/repairs?
Any idea if this will work?

Edit: Frame is 631 so pretty thin

I'd start by getting the right sized seatpost.
Brazing over the crack might hold it for a while but I doubt it'll stop there.

Yeah pretty sure I've got the right one in there now, as the original was too short so swapped for a 27.2 - will defo double check this when I go, cheers.
