Happy new year friends!
My brother got hit by a car, and then he asked me to check his bike for damages.
I noticed that around the gear hanger, the area seems a bit "exposed"? Should there be a cover of some sort there?
The bike is a older Ultimate Carbon with rim brakes.
Thank you :-)

Are you asking about the part of the frame that is an upside down crescent with nothing finishing the bottom?
If so, that would be the rear dropouts and where the axle of the rear wheel would slot into place and then is secured with a skewer. To me, this looks like it should for a rim brake bike off a quick glance.
Edit: I took a closer look and better understand what you’re asking I think. Ultimately, still looks good. I believe that’s where the derailleur hanger bolts are so those do need to be exposed to install or change a damaged one.
