After that crash I had I noticed a crack about an inch long where the headtube is welded on to the top tube. Its right at the weld. Its very thin. I dont have money for a new frame. I know it will still be weak but should I get that part welded?

Update: I found more cracks at the shock mount on both sides on the triangle not the swingarm. Here are some pics. I called santa cruz they want $200

Santa Cruz has great customer service!!!
Call up SC and ask for Willy. He should be able to help you out.
I did a crash replacement on my 03 Bullit front triangle over the winter.
I sent them my old one and they sent me a new 05 front triangle.(it bolts right up to the 02-03 swingarm)
It cost $200 plus shipping.
