I dunno man, it's 6 years old already. Plus if I weld I need to strip the paint and have it heat treated afterward. Then re-paint. It's not worth it for me since I barely ride anymore and can't afford to buy mtb stuff.

im planning to get a kumicho frame but it has a hairline crack on the swingarm near the welded part.
is it ok to repair it and use it for DH? can it be repaired?

if you welded it it will probably hold for awhile but eventually crack again
