Okay, this is NOT my frame, and sorry, I don't have any pics... Anyway, went to a friend of the sherpa yesterday after the local small 5K (Arthritis Foundation Jingle Bell Run in Seattle -- probably 10,000 people there...), and helped her set up her trainer. I noticed a bike leaning against the wall and asked about it... "One of the doctors loaned it to me. It's old, something like 1990. I never rode it, and it's just sitting there."

It's a very small QR Kilo, 650 wheels, Syntace aero set-up, Ultegra single pivot brakes... I ask if I can take a closer look. Grafton cranks. 8-speed rear end with a corn-cob cluster. Nice. I'm about to throw a leg over it (not that it would be anywhere NEAR my size) and notice something not quite right.

At the seatpost binder, I see a crack. When I look closer, I see that the crack extends down from the top of the seat tube parallel to the cut for the seat binder, then angles down and connects with the bottom of the cut. It's completely separated.

Is there something that can be done to salvage this frame? Other than that, the bike is very nice. Not up-to-date spec, but that's just parts...
