This is it polished back. It's not a scratch. Either it's a pre-existing fracture or there was too much heat put into the frame when I had the bosses put on.
I'm gutted.
So far I'm into the frame £50 plus £10 postage, £15 braze ons, £38 brazing, £15 seat post, £5 paint stripper and abrasives. That's £132 already.
A new down tube from bob Jackson is £115, along with a respray and carriage would be another £180 plus decals which is another £20.
That would make it £447.
Do I cut my losses and chalk it down to experience?
