So I broke my frame. Thought I had a puncture about 2 miles from home, turns out it's a bit more terminal! Looks like a crack where the dropout meets the seatstay too.
Bearing in mind that the seatstays are carbon, chainstays aluminium do you think this is weldable?
She's an old bike but has been a good one. I have ordered a Kinesis T2 V3 frame to swop everything on to but would really like to get the old girl running again at some point.

It can be welded, but the carbon would need to be separated from the dropout, easy if it's bolted, not easy if it's bonded. It would be more realistic to replace the dropout, rather than repair it. Either way will not be cheap, so unless it's a rare frame, or you are extremely attached to it, I'd write it off.
