crack in front derailer stop titanium frame

[Frank D.]

Any advise on if and how a crack in derailer stop could be repaired? The bike is a Lemond Victoire 2002 . The stop is functional as the crack is only 2/3 of the way through. This is a titanium frame. Can this be welded or could the stop be replaced ? Any advicwould be greatly appreciated. I am not the original owner of the bike Thanks Frank

It's a warranty issue.Take it to a Lemond dealer. Maybe you will get lucky.Otherwise find someone that knows how to weld Ti, or try a Bubba fix with JB weld.
