ive had this frame for about a year now and I was hoping to use this as a commute bike but im not sure if its dead as a dodo or maybe a goer. If its not clear in the pictures its a straight break on the rear lug where the wheel slips in on the gearing side.
If it is possible to repair can anyone recommend a shop or workshop in South London or London in general ?

cheers guys !!

You need a frame builder to take the old dropout off and weld in a new one - will depend on the frame material as to how easy it is to find someone to do it. To me that looks like aluminium which is trickier to find someone to work on than steel - there is a list here.

Cost is likely to be £100-£200 including respraying the frame (which you'd probably want to do). So it depends what the frame is as to whether its worth doing...
