Frame Repair

Here we have some pictures of a few different fun repairs I’ve done. The first being a vintage much beloved track frame. The cracks in the seat stays were pretty low and just cutting them below the crack and adding seat stay plugs. So I went ahead and made external caps from scratch! I cut some tubes, shaped and drilled cool holes in them and brazed on little caps. Then silvered the whole thing on like lugs. I think they came out pretty cool. Hope the bike is still on the road!

Then we have a few bikes that had their seat binder bolts snap off. One of them mid tour! She took it to the closest shop and they sent her my way. I had the other side off, cleaned up and a new binder brazed on in under an hour and she was back on her way!

Then we have a nice old bike with French Huret dropouts. Someone decided to hacksaw the derailleur hanger off for one reason or another, so I cut one off a new drop out and brazed it on!

Lastly we have a school friend that had her shifter boss pop off. It was barely brazed on 40 years ago or so. I was shocked it made it so long. I brazed a new on one, reattached the shifter and she was on her way in about half an hour!
