    Yea called in to see my mate who works for a local trek dealer he took some photos and rang the shop and they were going to email trek straight away to get another chainstay ordered so hopefully it wont be out of action for to long :)

    Happened to me on Raleigh RSP Ti frame. Weld just went through, horizontally, right through the driveside chainstay.

    Got a replacement, but idiots at LBS dented downtube overtightening the front mech...
