Pink frame back and nicely fixed. - 15:51

The repaired area of the pink frame (fullsize)

Back in October I put up
photos of some
cracks developing in my primary steel mtb frame, the
pink Bender Bicycles hard
tail mtb. Anyway as is the case when I break a steel frame I got Wayne Kotzur
to fix it up, however Wayne has been busy as a volunteer firey for a bit and
thus it took a bit longer than his last few lightning fast repairs. I got a
call yesterday that it was fixed and ready so went and picked it up.
To ensure the frame will not fail similarly again Wayne put a sleeve around
with better welds onto it than before on that part of the seat tube. Lovely
work as always and all it cost was AUD $60.50.
I think I may indeed go ahead and get this frame repainted though, apart from
the black where the fix is looking a bit strange the frame has had some hard
use and would look oh so pretty with a new coat of paint and brand new
stickers applied.
