Drill a hole at the bottom of the crack and make sure to use a correct sized post that extends about an inch below the whole and you're set. This is not an uncommon crack on frames with the wrong sized seatpost or that were reamed too much. I've "repaired" a few like using that method. For the right price on this Quinn frame you really can't go wrong even if you have to replace the tube. enjoy, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives SB, CA --
