I got it very very cheap, just wanted something to get me back into riding again. Now that I think about it though, I'm not so sure it was the best thing to do... Al

...Or what about getting it re-heattreated after the weld? Worth it? I really really like the way this frame rides, and would love to keep it going knowing that it won't let me down. Al

The weight isn't too much of an issue - I'd sooner trade weight for strength. Lets say I dont add any gussets, but I do send it off for heat-treatment - will this return the original strength of the frame? How much is this likely to cost? Cheers Al

I bought a rewelded Toxsin Frame1 yesterday for a pretty decent price. The guy who owned it before me had cracked across the downtube, just below the gusset, after practising hooks all day, so had it rewelded. The weld looks pretty good (altho its almost halfway across the lower half of the tube! ) but what I'm wondering is what peoples thoughts are on taking the frame to a welders and getting a bunch of gussets or plates welded on around the headtube, stays, bb etc. All the major stress points basically, just to beef the thing up. Thoughts? Cheers Al

So after about 3 years break from riding moto and cyclo trials, I'm starting to get back into riding again. Since I last rode though, my hair has grown about 10 inches I don't ride with a helmet at the moment, purely because I cant fit one on my hair! Tried to tie it back, but its not quite long enough at the front, so I'm riding with hair in my face constantly. Anyone else in the same boat? Al
