  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 outyourbackdoor.comoutyourbackdoor.com

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