Just got back from a nice ride and when cleaning the bike down, noticed a massive crack around the seat tube, where it meets with the top tube. Looks like its spread almost all the way around, glad it didn't go when I was out! (pics below) It's a Boardman CX frame, about 6 years old and is Aluminium, so even if I could find a good Al welder, not sure I'd feel confident in having what must be a high stress area welded. What do you think, worth a go or bin it and look for a new bike/frame?
