When is it time to retire a bike instead or repairing it?

You have life and limb to lose. If you know your shit about welding, by all means go ahead. But I do not, so a cracked frame is a dealbreaker for me.

I said eFat, not a downhill bike. If the weld fails I'll just need to push it back home like I did the last time.
