Did Rickmans use 531 tubing ?Or something more modern, that they tigged up.(And then nickel plated, which makes them really hard to repair.)Most recent common british frames are just plain steel tubing and electric welding. (japanese too)So can be welded with common oxy or stick welding.I welded the sidestand lug on a Commando, no problemo.Stay away from welding near the lugs of older lugged brazed frames though,the lugs are made of malleable iron (cast iron, before they are heat treated).
