I've got a Blur LTc frame which has been sat in a cupboard for a year with impact damage on the down tube and 'de-bonding' on the front triangle pivot inserts, but a perfectly useable rear triangle.

Jungle recommended a carbon repair firm but couldn't come up with anything else, which I didn't expect anyway. I'll throw in a long off-piste FoD guided ride for you and your riding buddies.... :wink:

I suspect the 'disbonding' issue may simply be a surface paint-based cracking issue. For £250-275 I'd take a risk on that, for £300, less so..

If the thing did actually show signs of failing, I'm sure I could have a go at fixing it with some form of permanent bonding stuff. It might then fail, it might not.

I'm sure there'll be someone out there who would think along similar lines.

First call - Jungle.

Mbnut, shame that, but I'm sure your boy is pretty happy with a carbon Covert!

Can't be that far out of warranty!

I bought a carbon Covert for my son just days before your ad went up... if I hadn't he would have been riding your bike now.

No help but I guess what I am saying is it is a great frame and you were after a fair price.... I would have taken the punt....

Hang it on the wall... it's lovely.

I had a similar problem with my old nomad, it looks like the pivots were dis-bonding so I took it into Stif Cycles, one of the techs had a look at it and said despite it looking very similar to the dis-bonding issues, it was just the paint flecking having changed the bearings.

Get it checked out by a SC dealer before writing it off, you may find out they do it under warranty anyway as its a known problem. That was the case with mine as we discussed warranty whilst the frame was being checked over.

Sounds like a fairly well known issue. You never know.

If not, sell as spares or repairs on ebay & and honest description. I've some some forks with marked stanchions for pretty good money that way.
