I managed to come off on Sunday, the bars swang round and scratched the top tube quite deep. Anybody know the best way to repair it or get it repaired please, based near chichester.

There's these guys in Hamble (reasonably close)

They reckon they've done over 300 bike frame repairs

Thanks for that, I had a quick look. They would be able to repair the scratch but not paint finish. I might give them a ring just to find out what to use filler wise.

Sorry didn't read the original post right, how bad a scratch?
If it's bad enough you think it's structural, then IMO filler won't fix it as carbon fibre gets it's strength by the length of fibres and weave etc
If it's just cosmetic, a bit of araldite or a sticker

It's 50mm long , and about 1mm deep and wide. Wouldn't think its structural just looks crap.

Fairly sure these guys do paint repairs as well as structural damage, they are not near to you though
