hi...got a crack at the top of the seat stay where the seat tube goes in (see attached pic, thanks). Should i repair or bin it? I contacted a guy who says he can weld a plate a round the cracked area (prob don't look good cosmetically) while some shops tell me to bin it.....the cost of repair over here is about 100USD for the welding and painting for that cracked area.
If I go for the 'repair' route, I wonder how reliable it will be. Appreciate your ideas/advice or experience on this point.
Its a GT ZR 2.0 7000 series aluminium road bike (about 5 yrs old). Its a pretty light frame.
