Hi, i have a 5 or 6 year old klein quantum frame. The non-replaceable derraileur hanger broke but a LBS said they could tunr it into a replaceable derraileur hanger with some drilling. I really want to sell this frame, hopefully get some money. Is it worth anything? Thanks

I dont think it will sell if you are honest about the frame being cracked, even if it was fixed. I strongly suggest that you clearly inform people that the frame was cracked then fixed. I would be really pissed if I found out that the frame I just spent 200 bucks on had a cracked frame.

Well, since it is a Klein frame, it might be worth something to an adventerous buyer-depending on how well the repair was done. A cracked derailleur hangar is not in the same league as a cracked weld, but I still doubt that you can get more than about $100-$150 for it.
