    Any bike shop owners fancy going down this route?

    I was just at Craig Calfee’s shop in Watsonville, California, last week and I am still shaking my head in amazement at the incredible repair work they were doing there on dozens of carbon frames that most people would assume were totaled. Calfee even is the authorized repair service for a number of brands.

    Calfee actually manufactures carbon frames though so they have the expertise... To be honest the repair prices sound quite reasonable if you would otherwise be looking at writing the frame off.

    I personally know of several frames that have been repaired by Calfee. He is very well known over here.

    Many of the repairs are seat stays....

    It would be re-assuring to know if there was someone who is somewhat local or near to Ireland who could repair frames. I'm expecting to have incidents.
