One of our customers sent us this carbon fiber Cannondale Super X cyclocross frame after crashing into one of the on-course barriers. This individual opted for repair rather than re-buy, and we were happy to help them fix their racing bike.
Parlee Seatstay Repair
This carbon fiber Parlee frame came to us after our customer was hit by a car. The frame had a badly cracked seatstay, so we performed our carbon fiber repair wizardry and got the bike rolling again. Have a broken Parlee bicycle? We'll fix that.
