Anything is repairable technically- is it gonna be worth the cost and time and will you be able to find someone are more relevant questions.
Probably time to just get a new frame…

Bracing and epoxy, or some sort of aluminum wrap? Time for a new frame most likely.

That’s a wrap dude. Not worth it

Agreed. It’s done. Buy a new frame. Not worth trying to fix it.

Run a shop that does carbon repair. From what I see here that be a relatively easy and no nonsense repair. That be our standard carbon repair rate of 400$ usd for simple repair jobs.
Find a shop that does repair near you and get it fixed. No need to replace it. The best thing about carbon is not it’s comfort or weight but how repairable it is.

Cyclocarbon could very easily fix that. They specialize in carbon frame repair, and it’s done very very well. Would be probably 300-600 bucks tho. So yes, it is repairable, but is it worth it?

Curious as to how this happened?

I just did a frame repair for way cheaper than buying a new frame with Carbon Bike Specialist. They are super good at what they do. Worth looking into. Most people on here never had to deal with stuff like this and often times if you have someone repairing it that knows what they are doing the frame can continue to last for a long while.

Yeah wrap that sucker in duct tape and a little JB weld should fix that sucker right up!

Not worth it, just get a new frame if you can.

As others have said you can take it to a reputable carbon repair place but it would be expensive, to the point that you might want to consider waiting for some good deals on frames, if you can of course. With a quick search, i could find some used frames in the 500$ range so if the others are estimating correct for the repair it’s up to you and how prices are in your area. One last thing, carbon repair (from the right people) will last but it won’t ride like new, in the top tube you probably won’t notice but it might be stiffer than before in weird ways. Anyway here is my opinion on this, the decision is (un)fortunately up to you

depends on where you are located, but yes it would be a fairly easy fix. Roberts Composites in North Vancouver did a frame repair for me. [https://robertscomposites.com/](https://robertscomposites.com/)

Yes. You take all the parts off and put them on a new frame.
