Let’s face it, accidents happen when we least expect them. For this repair case, our customer was pedaling slowly and testing out his shifting before departing on a ride. He was looking down at the gears moving and didn’t notice the curb approaching, slowly falling over onto it. Thankfully, he was in a parking lot and crashed with little personal physical damage. The carbon fiber Orbea frame, on the other hand, was badly mangled at the seatstay a few inches up from the dropout. Thin stays on carbon frames often take much abuse, both because of lightweight construction and the fact that they protrude farther off the bike than any other tube. We received the frame, patched it up, matched the beautiful light blue color and sent it back better than new. Have an accident which you’re not exactly proud of? Send us your frame! We’ll make you forget it ever happened. We guarantee you’ll *almost* forget where the damage occurred on your frame.
