Had the crack in seat stay looked at and it is cracked, but good news the shop said it could just be brazed...but they also noticed something else...the BAD News...they noticed the down tube is buckled near the head tube lug. It's hard to see, but if you run you finger on the bump you can feel it. Weird thing is the is no apparent damage on the head tube and none on the fork. So either this happened early in this bikes life and the fork was replace, or some one did a hell of a job on repairing the fork. What made the news worse was the attitude of the shop I brought it to...their bedside manner could be better. Anyway, looks like this frame is toast. It's wall art that will always remind me of how much money I wasted on it.
