    If nothing is actually broken and it’s just come unstuck try HQ fibre repairs in Norfolk, fixed a Scott scale by bonding on a new dropout for me, worth a call

    The carbon rocker (if thats what is called?) snapped on my motolite. Contacted bike shop were I bought the frame who arranged a replacement under warrantry. Think they got it sent from US cause it took ages. Paid for it to be fitted locally.

    I was looking to sell my large, two month old Motolite frame if it’s of interest.

    Quite a few failed around there.If it was my own motolite i would clean it up,find out what resin/glue to buy,drill a few holes and pop rivet on the underside of the bridge either side after bonding! worth a go before ditching it.I wouldnt attempt it on anyones frame but my own? would love to have a bash at sorting a motolite stay.

    How olds the bike? If it’s not that old then approach the shop – your contract is with them not Titus…. if it’s less than a year or so it’s probably their problem (sales of goods act). That said with Titus having gone bust / on-one not having any spares they’ll probably be reluctant to agree!

    nonk – is that it?

    I’d say 25% off a new frame’s not a bad offer from a company that effectively bought the brand and stock in a closing down sale and has no obligation to customers of the previous, bankrupt, company?
