Ok, so here's the deal. I can get a Cannondale Gemini frame for $80, because it had a crack form in the downtube. The guy had the crack welded back together, but he didn't say anything about heat treating the frame. If I get the frame heattreated, would it basically be back up to norm? The frames paint is pretty far gone, so I'd probably be redoing that as well, would it be safe to powdercoat? I'm hoping someone's done this before, because it's a great deal for me.

pm manimal, he had a crack in his demo 8's downtube and got it welded and treated like you should. he should know what he's talking about.
