God damnit, that was an expensive ride.

Now I’m trying to find one identical to this so I can use it for parts. I just hope this isn’t a common issue with this frame and that I just got unlucky with mine.

Would’ve been an easy fix if the frame were steel - but from what I understand, welding isn’t really an option with these alloy frames.

Oh trust me, if there was a DIY solution for this - no matter how ugly - I'd definitely try it. I even considered bolting a flat bar of steel on both sides of it. I just don't think anything like that would last longer than few kilometers.
