Repairing a Trek 5500

Tony said:

A week ago I crashed in the Australian Masters RR
championship and the right hand chain stay is now broken
(someone crashed into me as well).

Does anyone know whether this can be repaired ? , any info
would be much appreciated.

ouch ! I hope that you can find someone who knows OCLV.

I have often wondered how I'd fare after a crash on my
5200. Good luck. Let hope that it doesn't need a trip back
to the U.S.

In Canberra there is a guy out at the airport that does
carbon fibre repair. Pete from ethos bikes used to work for
him. Here is an url with Pete's contact details.

I'm Aerospace qualified to work on C/F, kevlar etc.
Unfortunately I'm not in a position to state that yes, it can be repaired without seeing the extent of the damage.
I don't know where you live, however I know that Composite technology is taught at Broadmeadows TAFE (Melb.)
I daresay that Sydney would have an equivalent facility.

The bottom line is try the Aerospace teaching facilities,they may be able to help you out as composites is part of the curriculum.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for all the advice guys I spoke to Bill Shelley today
he reckons he can repair the frame for me, he reckons it
doesn't sound as bad as some of the repairs he has done in
the past, probably only cost me $250-$300
