Capricorn Posted January 22, 2012 Share you can fix it. With one hand. But it means having to reach into your pocket first. what happened to the poor thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Deon) Posted January 22, 2012 Share original owner? Lifetime warranty on the frame.. if approved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neg Posted January 22, 2012 Share ok... so what are the negatives....?? and who is the best person, ive tried to search but haven't found a name yet... i did come across a thread about this one guy who BS two guys into thinking he could fix the frame and used body putty... im a big guy and my bike needs to be solid... i don't need a weak point as it will break there... WRT to what happened.... well lets just say it involved a Land Cruiser, a bike rack and a 60year old 40foot high palm tree.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neg Posted January 22, 2012 Share not original owner, i bought the frame second hand.... and do warranties cover accident whilst not riding?? Edited January 22, 2012 by Neg VT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Deon) Posted January 22, 2012 Share if you can get the original proof of purchase, that will qualify you as original owner.. worth a try. I would not continue to ride it in that condition, especially as paint is cracking off, seems to be severely stressed. "a Land Cruiser, a bike rack and a 60year old 40foot high palm tree" You mean you couldn't see the bike rack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"a Land Cruiser, a bike rack and a 60year old 40foot high palm tree" You mean you couldn't see the bike rack?Or the tree! Personally, and I am no expert, I would scrap that frame. If you are a big lad I wouldn't take that risk even if it gets some repair work done on it, but its hard to judge the extent of the damage from the photos.

There is no fixing that, any heat on that tube will render the area around the work just as weak as the damage itself. Insurance.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerus Posted January 22, 2012 Share ok... so what are the negatives....?? and who is the best person, ive tried to search but haven't found a name yet... i did come across a thread about this one guy who BS two guys into thinking he could fix the frame and used body putty... im a big guy and my bike needs to be solid... i don't need a weak point as it will break there... WRT to what happened.... well lets just say it involved a Land Cruiser, a bike rack and a 60year old 40foot high palm tree.... Please elaborate a bit more . No insurance? I'm not sure the original proof of purchase applies to the 2nd owner, I could be wrong and as Pain or Shine mentioned it may be worth a try.

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 22, 2012 Share Only one way for thst to get fixed. Claim from your insurance... (assuming, of course, thst you are insured??) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neg Posted January 22, 2012 Share well, i drove into my driveway, my parking spot (as there as a number of cars in my driveway) no, not a complex but it it complicated, and there was a car parked in my usual turning point, a friend of my cousin was visiting, so i went very close to the tree and when i turned the rear wheel on the rack hooked the tree and bent the sh*t out of everything! i completely forgot the bike was on the back...... i went pale and wanted to vomit! about the insurance... was in the process of getting it done but was waiting for a replacement quote from last week.....

Flowta Posted January 22, 2012 Share Even if he was the first owner, I don't think the warranty would cover it in this instance. I hope you have insurance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Deon) Posted January 22, 2012 Share about the insurance... was in the process of getting it done but was waiting for a replacement quote from last week..... so no... no insurance.... hmm, this happened to me once over a weekend, a truck hooked my wheel in the time I was arranging cover. On the Monday I faxed the forms and cover was granted and the wheel was replaced. One or two other cases have shown up on the Hub of similar type. You should continue the insurance process and see what comes of it.. i don't know the legality, but in my case, they understood that I was in the process of getting cover.
