Cracked chainstay

[shamangoof]

I'm taking my Scott Spark 960 (2022) in for assessing as it has developed a crack on chainstay. See attached pic. Not sure what Scott's reception is going to be like so also considering the options. 

1.New chainstay (rear triangle). Will look more closely at warranty details and conditions.

2.New frame purchase. ditto 1.

3.New bike. ditto 1.

4.Get the area welded. 

Regarding the last option, I will need to find a place or person who can do this reliably on the East Rand. Any ideas?

Cheers

On this, does anyone know where to get replacement Scott Spark rear triangles? Is it an easy process?
