Cracks around weld on quadangle - ?

[BDC]

I was hoping it was just the cheese paint, but the horizontal line that has appeared recently makes me think otherwise.

What to do? It's loaded with premium components. Repair - or replace frame - or just keep riding it?

I don't weld - so it would need a shop.

Well worth saving but I don’t think you’ll have much luck trying to get that color blended post repair. Probably get it stripped, inspect for others (likely), weld them up well and repaint/decal

Thinking, By the time I get it repaired and painted ...

I might just do a frame transplant with all the Profile Racing and Bullseye components.

The STR is actually a bit small for me, so this would make sense from a fit point - particularly as I recently sold my Big Ripper.

I could probably recoup some selling the damaged quad frame and forks to someone who could repair too.
