If your frame is carbon, you can have it repaired. Carbon repairs are very often strong and reliable 

IF alloy, then sadly a replacement frame will be best. There are guys out there that can weld aluminum but with limited success as they often crack either next to the weld or on the weld

Broke the rear triangle on my 2013 Epic Comp 29 and could not find a replacement allu triangle. Ended up fitting a carbon chainstay which looked quite cool and held up for a few years until I replaced the bike with a full carbon dual-suss. With the carbon tubing being bigger, I had to fit a longer main pivot shaft.

A carbon rear triangle will work just fine, since a replacement alloy triangle would probably break/crack again.

That carbon option sounds great is the part easily available  could you give me contact details 

Thanks John

I got the chainstay from Specialized Tygerberg(Bellville)

86 Edward Rd, Oakdale, Cape Town

021-910 1563

The Epic Comp, FSR and S-Works used the same component. They could not find an alloy component at the time(2017).

Best of luck 👊
