Steel frame repair needed - Bay Area
Does anyone know of a shop/builder that could take care of the following issue? Bay Area, and I will take care of paint. Any help or direction is appreciated. Thanks!

You bought that landshark on Craigslist for $150?
Thought about it but I think you're going to have to replace the front triangle. In any case I'd tak to Bernie Mikkelsen, Joshua Muir or Smith from rat king |

replace the front triangle??? nope at all.
Anybody with the skills of MR yamagushi (to me the master of lugless brazing here in the US) can fix that w/o any problem. I could recommend one of his students... Aaron Dykstra but he is not in california. He fixed a really tricky lugless bike for me long time ago, I even told him... nobody wants to touch it.. he said... Bring it... he took it like a challenge. My deceased master builder at my country would have fixed you that for free... Aaron (the forumite) is in california I believe... |

Paul Sadoff/Rock Lobster, Santa Cruz could do it if he's willing, Bruce Gordon in Petaluma is in process of closing up shop and retiring, but might be willing or give you some other possibilities

Well could be a stress fracture and not due an accident, s...t like that happens and between you and me I rather see big brazing than super thin one...
OP the frame looks deformed??? BTW in one of the pictures looks like the top tube has a wrinkle?? in that case well... hope the op wants to learn frame building. |

Would second Mikkelsen in Alameda. Does great work for a fair price. He had a friend's old Salsa Vaya back up and running in no time. Believe he can also arrange paint.

BTW, this is not a knock on any of the others mentioned, but I've had good results dealing with Ed and he should be on your list of people top check out. |
