Hi all, hoping for some advice... I have a(nother) single speed project on the go, aiming to build a simple village runaround using an old condor touring frame as the base. All was going well until I spotted a crack/split along the length of the inner chainstay dimple, on the drive side. It runs the length of the dimple, not beyond it, and is fairly uniform in width, almost as if it were there intentionally for drainage (I’m trying to convince myself this is a possibility but fear not!).
I’ll try to add photos later, but any thoughts on options? Is there an easy fix, could it be ridden as is, could it just possibly be there by design, or is the frame toast?! It is along the length of the tube, not around it, which I’m taking as a good sign...
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
