heres the low down:
i've got an older morewood ndiza. i'm not the original owner. tonight i took it apart to try and track down the looseness i've begun feeling in the pivot. what i found made me very very sad.
the pivot boss which was welded into the frame has completely broken free from the welds that hold it, causing it to rattle. it can't quite spin, but its getting there to give you an idea of how bad it is.
seeing as the ndiza has been discontinued, and i'm not the original owner i have a feeling i am on my own here. i love this bike, it is the sickest, funnest bike i've ever ridden and we were just getting to know each other.
i have many friends who are comfortable TIG welding AL. i'm a pretty confident fabricator and i know this is definitely fixable.
so what would you do?
