[NMCycling] Welder for alloy bike

[Bill Blankenship]

Does anyone know a welder who would try to repair the small crack above the weld on this gusset? I am told it’s possible but difficult on AL. This crack is on a Privateer 161 mtb, a 13 year old’s dream bike less than a year old. Filed warranty claim yesterday, but they are a small company with limited stock….in England. Concerned no new frame til a long time from now. Hoping a repair here could be done, as opposed to the frame proper. 

Thanks for reading.
