I'm in the middle of a top tube replacement (of a frame I've had kicking around for a long while. My own project.) and the Tt offset by a few MMs with the first cut through. The frame was made by a well respected builder during the 1990s with no crashes (rust holes in the TT). Unless a frame really has a LOT of built in stresses AND has seriously poor brazings (including prep) I doubt there will be much long term issues.
I'll be posting more after i get done. Andy.
