My own darn fault, I can just about guarantee that this was caused by tugging my trailer full of beer. I was afraid that this would be the result, that is one reason why I took the old Cannondale off the trailer tugging duty and bought the Charge Mixer 8.
As I do not have a TIG welder handy, and I'm WAY out of practice on the TIG anyway, Tim S has kindly suggested that as it is just a stress fracture that I drill out the ends of the cracks and fill the cracks with epoxy.
I have this epoxy.....

It lists Aluminum as something it bonds, so....?
I guess I'll have to remove some paint and do some digging to see the extent of the cracks, then drill out the ends of the cracks and fill the whole deal with epoxy?
Maybe this old nail is not dead yet?
Anyone done this or something like it?
Cheers!
