Ok so I was on my blaster which I bought today and basically crashed in to a tree while trying to get through a tight gap .. Bent the frame .. I don't really want to buy a new frame and would like to think this is repairable ? And advice and comments would be really helpful . I myself am a heavy good mechanic in the UK so I had access to basic workshop tools i.e getting the frame heated up and welded would most definitely be possible and was what I had in mind to try and solve this problem ! thanks for any help/advice in advance !

That's to bad, but everything can be fixed
I would pull it back, then cut away the mangled tubing and then sleeve and weld new tubing back in place after thorough measuring.
good luck.

thats the worst I've ever seen, and I've bent 2 myself in that same spot.

I would not attempt to fix that either, look for another used frame.....or make sure your health and life insurance is piad up to date

I bent a frame, not even remotely that bad and I replaced it.

Best advise I can give you is don't chance your health and safety. Find a good straight frame and swap it.

Watch out for trees next time too..

I'm curious how far from the bike he landed when this collision took place

I wrecked one of my blaster last year, bent it the same way. I used my torch and press to get it back to normal. Ended up just buying a new frame because no matter how perfect I had it it still pulled to the right. Bought a new frame on eBay for 100 bucks, that's your best bet

Boilermaker here. Don't try and fix that. Just find another frame and swap everything over. Trust me. That frame is a wreck.
