Yes another one of my strange threads.
Basically long story short , my buddy managed to crack his frame after years of abuse
Around the drop outs on a keewee cromozone just were the seat stay attaches to the chainstay.
But people seem to think this can just be fixed by welding.
But i dont think this is the case or am i missing something very important?
Basically wouldnt the extreme welding temperatures anneal the steal and reverse the heat treatment process?
I was told it should not matter as it is not a high stress area.
Also was told that quenching could cause more issues when making a repair?
Help would be much appreciated as im planning on having some custom work done to a cromoly frame that i have and would like to know
