Got a nasty HT/ST crack on my old Van Nichols TI frame...as a consequence of an "open and frank exchange of opinions" with a moving car.
Thoughts on getting it rewelded, or is the frame toast? ImageImage

All good. Still trying to work out how I broke off and shattered his wing mirror with my fist (on the brifter) and only had a tiny cut on my hand!

I took a early 80's Camaro Berlinetta door almost all the way off with my middle finger. Yeah it was shattered but the door and my finger looked similar.

Safest option is having a Ti builder replace the down tube

I use tifabrication...they have been great. Can be fixed and rewelded.

Frame should also be thoroughly checked out.

I spoke to David Levy. They converted my rim brake Guru to flat mount disc and put new chain stays to make room for 38mm wide tires.
