It's not difficult to weld a cracked frame, but it can be quite difficult to 
fix a cracked 
frame.  To weld it, you just melt the metal, and away you go.  To fix it, you 
want to 
find out why the frame cracked, and what the integrity of the existing metal 
is, and 
get it back into alignment.  Yes, you can have the frame fixed, and probably 
you can 
do it yourself (it's really not that hard).  But find out why it cracked in the 
first 
place, as this isn't a normal event.  Consider reinforcing the frame at the 
cracks, and 
check the other side.
