True but I suppose I'm talking about a tourist in a foreign country or even in America with perhaps a busted dropout or something of that nature...even a cobbled repair on a tube using a 1/2 or full tube sleeve is possible in an emergency that would allow one to finish a tour with perhaps a rattle can paint job on the road until the frame can be properly worked on if one so chooses. I wouldn't pay to have someone else repair a $1000 dollar frame but I would repair a $2000 Atlantis or a custom for sure. The point I'm making is that it can more easily be done by more people across the country.
