What became of this... Is it fixable?

Be interesting to see what the verdict is from a pro carbon repairer.

You are aware the manufacture replaced it due to this superificial lacquer crack - odd they would do this for a cosmetic reason

Besides, there isn't enough intrinsic value in that particular frame to make the latter a viable proposition.

Finding the car repair analogy quite amusing - there are many innocents driving around in cut and shut deathtraps.

This is not an insurance write off it's a warranty issue. Very surprised at Cube's laissez-faire attitude - they have a brand rep to protect. IMO they should only have delivered up the new frame on receipt of the fcuked one.

I've seen various frames that he's fixed. They look like new and have never come back.

I've worked in the bike industry for 10 years. Any warranty frame the distributor always either wants it back or the bb she'll cut out so it can't be used. You got a new frame and somehow got to keep the damaged one. Sell the new one and get rid of the old one. How come you got to keep it anyway? Did they never ask for it back or it to be left with your local cube dealer?

How many carbon repairers will scan or test their work? I dunno,

Fixing it for yourself to ride is fine, at worst it's natural selection, at best it's all a bargain.

Today I had my first ever surly frame warranty in 8 years, fresh frame with me tomorrow, but they want pictures of the old one sawn up. Which causes me to ask what cube (not a brand, it's just a shape) are expecting you to do. Their warranty refers to a frame "exchange". So maybe CRC are not hot on this subject, but don't sell it on. The risk outweighs the benefit a million times.

Ok, you loved the frame, you liked everything about it...the way it moved, it's hot looks between your legs... But it's time to let go, cry a bit, and move on... Let it pass peacefully to the other side of the shed. LET GO.
