Is there anyway I can get a cracked headtube repaired on an alloy frame? it is about 2.5cm and id love to get it fixed.

Thanks

    Can it be repaired, yes, is it worth repairing? Welding will cost you about £40-50, then it will need to be machined for the headset and filed smooth on the outside and then painted, will the repaired frame then be worth circa £150, if not, buy a replacement!
