buy a used frame that isnt cracked and install everything on it. if the crack is small enough get it welded by a quality welder.

also, if you buy a used frame that has a good history and put everything on it, you can end up with clear title (if your current bike is marked as salvage). reason being that the vin # is tied to the fram of the bike and the used frame would have a different vin (hopefully clear) compared to your current one. this is all assuming you go the new frame route
