    A friend has a brand new Argon E112 2015, never dropped, which has a crack on the l/h chain stay. Opinions on how bad this is?

    That was my feeling. It has been 'suggested' it was dropped. But no way. Bought 2 months ago, had 6 rides.

    If no joy from the shop then it is likely suitable for repair. No biggie.

    not pretty...
    second pic suggests damage stretchs over 3 to 4 inches..
    it...does.... look like it was dropped onto something..with a little force too
    carbon isnt as britle as some might think...but it is when it falls/get weight applied in the wrong fashion.. i.e- abruptly!!

    easy enough fix and safe afterwards doubt the shop will be any help at all...

    Yeah. Who caused this is a real problem. The bike was minded like a baby. Ridden 70k once after service (when the damage would have been noticed surely?). A really tricky problem.

    Next question will probably be who does good repairs.

    had a little work done by him recently...paint quailty first class..
    i believe the carbon work is also first class AND most importantly stood over
