I pretty much know, My bike is trashed . Right..? I have what appears to be a crease on the side of my top tube , on the side mid-way between the seat post and the head tube.. It's about 19 mm in length and deep enough I can insert my thumb nail into it.. I will not know for sure if its a crack or a scratch until I remove the paint.. ?.. Once it appeared as just a scratch , but now the fold appears to be deeper..?
I hate this because I have an appreciation of Klein's for historic value.. Would my love of Klein bikes be worth attempting to repair my top tube or just a total waste of money. Should what appears to be a cracked frame be a real crack.
My club members say they know of a good Tig welder at some shop... .. Even so.. ? It would still be a waste..?
Thanks..
