Hey right you can sort out your problem you could get your frame taped and helicoiled this is a very cheap option. But if you get a new frame it would be easy and you would be most likely to improve on a new frame and look way beta that a t-bird. One problem your going to have your self a job finding your self a decent frame for about £100 I would try and get your self another hundred and get a zona zip they are nice frames to ride strong and reliable. chris
