    Mod. apologies if I am in the wrong forum !

    I have a Raleigh hybrid. Found a complete crack on the tubular part of the frame near to the rear hub slot.

    Can this be welded or is it new bicycle time ?

    Steel or aluminium? Steel is easier to repair, you'd want a good welder to repair aluminium (some people wouldn't be happy on a repaired frame)

    Can you post some pictures?

    probably can be welded if it's steel. is it economical to do so? probably not.

    Thanks.

    I suspect that the safer and practical option is a new machine !
