a friend has trashed his carbon fiber road bike and would like to see if it can be repaired. he's based in Sheffield. many moons ago there was a company in Rotherham but I can't find them today? and then there's this company in Derbyshire http://www.carboncyclerepairs.co.uk/contact-carbon-bike-solutions-team-carbon-bike_3.html. Can you lot help?
Worth considering posting it to HQ Fibre in Norfolk.
Good work for me, price very reasonable compared to rivals.
Bell them for a chat, web presence is minimal IIRC.
was it an expensive frame, I used to do it (and design bits for F1 cars and jet planes) but am tied up with bicycle manufacturing at the moment ,im thinking it could be a good service if i took on an apprentice to learn composites /framebuilding /bicycle refinishing
mickmcd, may send you an email with contact details or pass on your address to contact the guy direct - penistone isn't that far...
will also pass on the info for the norfolk chap thanks
Darren at CBS (op link) is a good guy, took a lot of time to talk through the process before leaving me to decide if it was worth it.
On his advice I ended up binning the one frame and kept riding the other, it's still going strong.
OH used carbon cycle repairs to get a cracked seat tube repaired. I was very impressed, you could even see where the work was done!
muddy9 its one of those things I'm looking at getting back into as I used to do a lot of it ,problem is its like being a plumber omeone will do what you do for 20 quid
hell BML might even become a carbon manufacturing Shop this is what i have done for over 20 years and once you get past derby there isnt really another workshop that specialises , i was down at the Boeing AMRC yesterday and they have some stuff i might be making for them which is sports related so it could tip that way , Unfortunately I'm mowed out with other jobs at the moment
thanks all have passed on the information and the unlucky wallet shuffler will be in touch soon no doubt
Sorry, my post should have said that you couldn't see where the work had been done. Quite an important difference there...
