Bicycle frame repair

A bicycle frame had cracked across this bracket.

The paint was cleaned off either side of the break,

& the crack ground out to a "vee" section on both sides.

The broken parts were then TIG welded back together. Made a bit trickier because the bracket had originally been brazed into the frame tubes & the heat from the TIG torch melted the braze, some of which ran into the weld & produced Zinc fumes.
