Head tube crack - Repairable?
Upon pressing in a headset, the head tube of one of my frames developed a crack. It's not terribly large (approx. 1/4" long), starting at the bottom of the tube, on the front side (basically looking straight forward).
The frame is aluminum, so I'm wondering if this would be repairable by a competent welder, who could potentially fill in the crack, and grind/sand the tube smooth/round.
No chance at a warranty or replacement.
Thoughts?
