Oh no. Cracked frame...
14 Mar 2015 14:41 - 14 Mar 2015 14:42
Ths is how projects snowball out of control...
I have the engine out to replace the starter clutch. I was cleaning the frame to prep for touch-up paint before the engine goes back in when I found this:
sigh
Ok. Is this tough to fix? Should I take it to a bike frame guy or can anybody with a modicum of welding experience fix this?

That's going to be a bit complicated to fix right,butt welding frame tubes isn't cool. 
Still recovering,some days are better than others.

Here's a better shot from last night.
And here it is with the paint removed. Looks like the crack was in the paint?
What a relief...
