Is it worth fixing a broken seat tube on these? It's the classic "broke clean off at the weld" type.

I had the same problem with my Ripper and for me it was worth to repair it!

I would and have. This frame has had the seatube replaced (correct 13/16" i.d. tubing) and has been heat treated again.

If You dont wanna fix it, send it this way.

Someone I know fixed it. Im no where near that talented with a welder. Ill tell You it wasnt cheap, but I still have less into it then any looptail PK that has been across Ebay lately.

oldschoolrob! Was the entire seat post tube cut and replaced, or did you just have a new piece of tube welded on top of the break? I was thinking about removing the entire tube on my PK, but was afraid the frame might start to bow.
