yes, it's starts as a sheet, and is folded the seamed on the underside, at least that's what my friend says, it may be extruded. I'm resign to the fact I may have to pay huge coin to get her rolling, but since I'm destined to rip the down tube out I thought why not try a tech welder and see if he thinks it's possible to fix it, he sounds game , we will see, he says the purge is the most important issue... crack is out side the weld,
heck light speed will keep my bike four months.. worth the gamble..
