I recently made a schoolboy error of forgetting my bike was on the roof of my car and entered a gate restricted car park. Needless to say my bike came off and the car rack was totally destroyed. The bike itself was not too bad apart from the lower tube at the bottle holder becoming creased or a little crushed. Question is can it be repaired (its a 6061 frame) or is it for the bin?
If it can be repaired does anyone have detailed of a repairer in the cork area?
Many Thanks for your assistance,

Best Regards,

Eric
