Crashing a bike is always a scary endeavor, but when it involves a car it becomes a whole other terrifying ordeal. This Specialized Roubaix came to Ruckus with an absolutely mangled downtube...the result of being doored by a car. Luckily our customer walked away with only minor scrapes, but the carbon fiber frame was tremendously damaged. We had...

Paint matching is a delicate and time consuming art. Luckily, we have more than one paint wizard in-house. This Specialized S-Works Amira carbon fiber frame arrived with a quarter-sized crack in the toptube. The repair is a basic one for us, but matching that purple-to-blue sparkle fade sure was tricky...and we nailed it. There's nothing we love...

Seatstays are the tubes that connect the dropout to the seattube on bicycle frames. These tubes are becoming lighter and thinner on carbon fiber frames as both a means of weight and vibration reduction. Subsequently, this also makes them more susceptible to damage. One of our customers accidentally knocked over their LaPierre Xelius and sent it ...

Carbon fiber cyclocross frames are completely and totally always subject to damage from the brutal nature of the course conditions. One of our customers crashed his favorite bike and came to us for repair help. Of course, we were happy to oblige and sent him back his "totally new looking frame".

Carbon fiber hardtail mountain bike frames inherently take a beating due the the nature of where and how people ride them. Subsequently, we see many cases of seatstay or chainstay damage for these type of frames. This one was a completely routine repair for us, and we were happy to save another frame and make another customer stoked!

This carbon fiber Colnago 50SL chainstay repair came to us after it was damaged in shipping, unfortunately a common occurrence for too many individuals. Matte black on black is always one of our favorite options. As always, we are delighted to keep bikes out of landfills and back on the road.

This carbon fiber Trek Madone was damaged due to rear derailleur failure, resulting in a crash. The resulting tumble also caused damage to the headtube. This bike is the favorite ride of one of our customers and she sent it to us to be remade again.
