Fix dented, cracking aluminum top tube
I'm looking for advice and potential vendors to fix a dented and cracked aluminum top tube.

I have a Cannondale CAAD8 aluminum frame that I crashed and dented the top tube with the handlebars a few years ago. I started riding the frame again last year and recently noticed it's starting to crack.



I want to keep riding this frame and would like to get an idea of how and how much to repair. I'm a NOT at all interested in making it look beautiful or light, just rideable.

Does anyone have experience with this? What solutions will work? Can you recommend a vendor (SoCal, preferably OC or LA county)?
