Can anyone possibly help me please?

[ch4v4l1f3]

Hi everyone, i am a keen mountain biker and have found a crack on my frame, what i am looking for is somebody in my area or as close as possible (Wigan/wn35xl) that could fix/weld the frame.

The crack is marked in red on the photo's below:

If anyone can help me or knows somebody that can, could you please pm me.

Thank you in advance,
Neil.

You want it tig welded.

I think you want a new swing arm. A lot of aluminium mountain bike frames are heat treated after welding. I would say that getting a the crack welded up could make things a bit dodgy to say the least. The metal has been stressed and started to fail, a weld would only hide the damage.
is it a 2nd generation Marin? there are often front ends of them on Fleabay minus the swing arm.

Good luck.

Your frame should have a life time guarantee,did you buy it from new?
