Hi Guys
So my frame has snapped near the rear dropout (see picture). I took it to mendabike down in Fulham and they had a go at welding it. They Tig welded it apparently.
It looked like they had done a reasonable job when I picked it up from the shop. I took it out for one ride and when got back inspected and the welding didn't hold at all, just how it was before.
I appreciate it's probably not easy to weld this but I paid £38 for the job and feel like I just through that money away. Would you guys go back to complain or just live with the fact that they tried and it didn't work?
Next question - Could this be repaired or am I better just taking it to a frame builder and getting the rear stays replaced? (it's a lugged Pinarello frame).
Thanks
Nic
