Help: can anyone mend my pram?

[gingellico]

Hello, I have a Phil and Teds Vibe and it broke yesterday- literally the frame has snapped away at the joint. It is typically out of guarantee but thinking it maybe able to be welded. Been to the welders by Peckham Rye and a couple of car garages but apparently I need an aluminium welder. Anyone know of one or anyone who might be able to fix it? Please!

Probably worth chatting to local bike shop BK bikes - many bicycles come in alumiunium these days so suspect they have the odd welding job OR they'll know of a local welder.

Bike shops no good. Ahhh. Looks like we're stuck with a broken pram.

Contact phil andteds. My vibe frame broke I had it welded but the heat melted the brake cable, pram was secondhand so I didn't think about contacting h company until 6 months later when the frame snapped again on the other side and we had no money for anther pram. I told them i had no proof of purchase when they asked.

If you have the receipt great, if nt its still worth emailing them, the vibe has only been out 4 or 5 years and they should last longer than that, especially as they're aimed at growing families.

If you'd like to try having t welded try motor tech in melbourne grove, they do aluminium welding and are very nice chaps, but please consider contacting p&ts as they may be more helpful than you think.

Thank you so much for ur advice. I contacted Phil n teds and amazingly have a brand new frame they sent me in under a week, even though it was 3 years old. So thanks a lot!
