@Andrew, while this would be so great, logistically, it would be a nightmare for companies such as Giant - shipping, logging, tracking and such stuff to China and back to wherever. For a brand that welds their frames, in house, not so. Biggest issue with fixing alu frames is the actual heat treating, not getting them welded and if you don't re-heat treat 7005, you'll definitely have major problems.
