    Sadly my rear dropout on drive side cracked and parted from its moorings!
    Colnago master x lite frame so if possible would like to put a complete new dropout on it. Have had it welded up so's can still ride it but lost a bit of confidence on it and anyway, think the frame deserves a proper job on it.

    Anybody know of a shop or individual who would do this ?

    What material is the frame made from?

    A decent weld should sort it, but for peace of mind I would add a webbed piece between chain and seat stays.

    i reckon a good clean weld should be spot on,no other way of fixing it.

    Mercian bikes in the UK will do it for £40 apparently. Shipping might be pricey though.
