Interesting look at carbon frame repairs

[PPWTF]

Came across this on Velo News this morning, and given a recent post about a carbon MTB taking strain figured I'd post this here (company is US based, but it does give an idea of what can be done)

......unique molding process uses the best quality 3k carbon fiber weave

to create forms that are shapely, lightweight, and extremely strong.

From minor scratches to stuck seatposts to frames destroyed by the

dreaded endo or that startling encounter with the garage door; we've

repaired over 2,100 frames since 2003.

A few examples of how

typical seatstay repairs looks, showing how it is smooth but the carbon

pattern is not perfectly matching on clearcoated frames:

Probably the best carbon repar specialist in Joburg is Bill Irving. Gave him my Look Track frame to fix and its better than new. Have seen a couple of bikes he has done and the quality is very good.

Hulk, could you PM me his details?

 

Anyone in the Cape Town area that someone might recommend for such type of repairs?

Bill has retired after a long career. He worked for a while at ProCycles in Benoni and passed on his knowledge and equipment to the folks there. Give Paul Farrance a call on 011-425-2007.
