Very nice job.
Phosphor bronze welded looks like. That's what I would have had done. Good for you !Its back. I am now happy with the result. The specialist could not understand what the frame had fractured in that way. I did ask him if he wanted to to provide his details on the forum in case anyone else need this or other welding doing. He politely declined as he has too much work. He builds frames for specials ie Seeley frames. Old School and very reasonable and I am keeping him in my phone book in case. I may not have the time before Sunday's meeting to rattle can it temporarily.
Thanks Thats exactly what he recommended and since I am certainly no expert I left it to himPhosphor bronze welded looks like. That's what I would have had done. Good for you !
Won't take too long to do a bit of rattle canning ?Thanks Thats exactly what he recommended and since I am certainly no expert I left it to him
Top man !Had to work most of the day. Have to sometime as it’s what allows me to buy the toys. Finished about 4pm. Now I could have spent the rest of the afternoon painting the bike. Instead I grabbed an overnight bag and headed for Welford. Looking for a hotel now.
Repair looks good to meThat repair does not look all that great to me though it may be adequate. I admit I'm a bit more chicken-hearted than I was in my younger days and I would be looking for a replacement frame if such a thing is available. Old Britts had some but, of course, OB is gone now...
Absent a replacement frame or better weld work as mentioned by Concours, I'd relegate the bike to light-duty work. BUT, as I said, that's just me. As we often say - do what you are comfortable with!

Well actually it’s a Dominator …Not that I know of - standard Commando frames. Is the cracked frame bike a 961? I didn't realize that, sorry.
This is a Domi frame.Well. 4 day weekend in the UK. So a quick clean I thought and then out. This has changed my mind. Words at this point fail me as it would just be a succession of swearing.
