I had a steel Mongoose IBOC that had a broken rear dropout after many years of hard service. A local welder and frame builder grafted new SS dropouts on for $75 and it had many more years as a SS until it was stolen from my son (the thieves needed to get past a locked fence, locked garage and saw the steel plate in the wall of the garage the bike was U-locked to). As above, we can'ttell without a picture, but it might be possible to reweld it.
