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.

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.
