About 2 months ago i got hit by a car riding my pride and joy Giant TCR composite 1, the accident was my fault (broke up with gf previous night) lack of attension (my bikes are now insured, im a fool). Anyhow i got off very likely just heavy bruising but my wheel was crisped and the tube that goes from the rear mech to the seat post has a bad crack neat the top.
My question is, can anyone give me any advice on how to repair composite frames ? theres no way i can replace it even with a low spec frame so im gonna have to have a go, its killing me not riding (although it has taken me two months to even contemplate repairing it and riding again).

Thank you in advance
Take it to a giant dealer and ask.Many CF frames can be repaired by the manufactured,but it usually is not cheap. If not repaable,some have crash replacement policies,but again,not cheap. It is not a do it yourself job if you value your shin.
