Cracked tube... Solutions?

[Seti]

Pushed left pedal hard to accelerate and felt slow tear. Was able to ride home. What is the solution, anyone?

Your Quest has put in many, many years of faithful service. She doesn’t owe you anything anymore. It is time to put the younger generation to work. Buy a Q45.

Bummer about the cracked frame. It seems as though you may have purchased it relatively recently and her hard service was enjoyed by someone else.

Another option is finding a replacement front triangle.

Technically, it is only the bb-shell and lower boom tube that needs replacing. The rest of the front triangle is likely fine. I think that part is still identical on the T50, but may not be available separately.

Bought it about 4 years ago with 5 miles. I ve ridden about 8k over the years.

Appreciate the comment but too much money for my use now.

I have one of those and would be happy to give it to you. This is from a Quest 2 that I upgraded with the beefier tube of the Q100. It's been sitting around in my bike garage since maybe 2013. You are welcome to it. Where are you? (PM me).

@Seti i hope billyk incredibly generous kindness works out. Wow. Fanfare for the fantastic.

Hey guys, you're making too big a deal out of this. That thing has been hanging on the wall of my pretty small bike garage for 6 years (I looked at some records and it was actually 2015). It's pretty obvious I'm not going to do anything with it. Getting it to someone who has use for it is win win.

On the other hand @Seti hasn't contacted me yet. I'll try to PM him now.
