Zone welding in Willoughby can take care of that. I see your in Dayton ... a bit far but ... they have welded alum for me and actually done it well enough where there was no discoloration around the fixed area.

Thanks for info guys. Really was lost on how to go about this mission. Was wondering what would be better........Tear down and take just the frame or can I get away with just taking the whole bike and having what is visible done?

Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to tear it down and really inspect it. Then take it in to be welded, and have them give it the once over.

And plan B: Find a second frame. Just in case that crack is worse than it appears
