No, that's very doubtful while proper testing would be fully destructive.

thank you for replies i will have a look at a carbon bandage.
sorry, need to look at the pics more closely!
It's a heat-treated alloy frame so very difficult to effectively weld-repair. Only option would be a carbon 'bandage' to reinforce the tube joint sufficiently to stop the crack propagating any further. You can buy repair kits from www.carbonmods.co.uk

if you take it to a specialized dealer they will normally offer you a discount of a new frame to get you going.
i certainly wouldnt ride the bike any more.
as i say only most companies do this, not sure if specialized are one
