So Dr., what's the prognosis....yea nor nay?

Chain stay and half of the dropout is bent in towards wheel (can't use a larger cog as a result), and obviously, the gap between the dropout and frame is an issue. Is this a quick $5 weld, or a heave ho into the dumpster?






A real beauty for sure. A 1965 Hercules, and a "Lightweight" at 40 pounds Laughing

If you really want I could get it done it up for you Very Happy! Probably a quick thing if the rest of the frame is tight. Nice color too.

Hey Billy,

Yea, the rest of the frame is pretty tight as far as I can tell. I'll try and bring it by sometime this weekend (Sunday?) and you can give it a quick look over.

Take care,
Kevin
