Repairing brazed steel frame
#1
Hello,
My brazed steel frame has a crack at the connection between main frame and head tube (its a recumbent).  I am looking into repairing this myself, have some experience welding and brazing. Would I need an acetylene torch?  Is silver rods the kind I want to use?  Thank you for any advice.
