  1. I'd like to be able to readily make frame repairs on my old beater
    bikes.

    I suspect it's easier to do than one might think, if one isn't
    concerned with cosmetics.

    Does anyone have a book title, a how-to URL and, say, the *NAME* of a
    set-up I could buy at Home Depot or something? I wouldn't be surprised
    if there wasn't a bubblepack set-up I could get for minor repairs.

    I note that on my Brompton folder, the ~1.5" seat-tube is cracking for
    1/2" horizontally across the tube just at the bottom of the seat-post
    slot. Is this something an at-home welder could repair?

    I suspect there are two angles to consider here: one is brazing, which
    would be like soldering. Then there'd be actual welding. I'd think
    welding would be what you want for things like cracks. ??

    Thanks, Jeff Potter

  2. First make sure the bride and groom both ride.

    Google + welding + DIY = your question answered elsewhere:
