If you go in not knowing what's possible, and/or you are afraid to have a discussion on what you would like to see in terms of repairs then, imo, you get what you get.

I had a similar issue with a Schwinn balloon frame. After cleaning out the previous repair with a grinder,I drove a section of seat tube down until it intersected with the bottom bracket. That not only strengthened the damaged area, it also gave me something to weld to. I’m sure your welder will have his own ideas as well. Good luck.

Yup, nice, easy, and minimal weld with maximum strength.

Well I got my frame back and the Brazing went great. I can not wait to get this back together just in time for the nice weather. Thanks for the input and help. Even you 49autocycledeluxe, thank you for keeping me straight between Braze and Braise.

braise: to fry (food) lightly and then stew it slowly in a closed container.
"I braised the beef and vegetables the day before"

Oh by the way there is no frying when you braise.

you will have to take that up with the dictionary. I am only in charge of proper word usage, not definitions.

I will try to keep things straight, it is especially important when we are trying to explain things on a key board and not in person.
