Often times people contact us with repairs of parts that are not necessarily broken, like this Serotta Fierte Ti. We received this titanium and carbon fiber frame with grey, bubbling clear coat and corroded cable stops. Although nothing was technically broken it was aesthetically very unpleasing, so we popped off all the rivets and reinstalled t...

"It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are..." - Ernest Hemingway Lael Wilcox states via her website : “I think about things when I’m moving” and this certainly seems to be an appropria...

Destroying something unique and valuable usually carries a certain amount of heartbreak, after all, loss is always difficult. Fortunately, it doesn't have to be that way with carbon fiber bicycle frames. This BMC has one of the more unique paintjobs that we've seen, and our customer loves it.

Several years ago we were having a conversation with some of our friends regarding the status quo of the racing scene in Oregon. Our main concern was, "how come women don't have a specific single speed category anymore". It used to exist but as of three years ago it had fallen temporarily by the wayside.

Chainsuck sucks. It's plain and simple. Dumping your chain down off of your front rings and into the frame is not only annoying, but scary as well.

Opening a new bike box only to see a cracked frame is absolutely heartbreaking. This Colnago C60 frame came to us in such a manner: the bike box received seve...

We see damage from shipping and moving way, way too frequently. Unfortunately, it's just one of those things. You can prepare and prep perfectly for said move or ship, but things don't always turn out or come out of the box correctly, for that matter. If your frame happens to be damaged in shipping or moving, leave it right in that box and send ...

One of the most common reasons people choose repair over a new purchase is for sentimental value. New bikes are just that, and come without any weight or attachment. This particular BH carbon fiber frame came to us with a cracked top tube. Of course, this is a common repair for us but the reason was not. This frame was a loved one's bike and rep...

For those about to rock...we repair you! Carbon fiber bicycle frames, though very strong, can be highly susceptible to localized impact damage.
