welding repairs on a columbus frame?

[bikebloke]

hi guys

some advice ..

 

Who in the western cape to evaluate and possibly repair a weld and straighten a slight bend in a back stay

on a Columbus bianchi 70s frame ( I think its a bianchi record)

 

is it worth fixing ?

 

is it possible?

 

will it requiring a repaint (loss of decals etc) after welding/repairs

 

it was way cheap so if its bombed no biggy

 

thanks

Speak to either Shaun at storm bikes or David Mercer

 

Both build in steel so see no reason why they couldnt repair one....

Jared Mahaffey at Bicycle Maintenance Company in Salt river did some amazing welding for me as part of a full restoration project.
