I was bringing my bike, a 2008 Trek Madone, in today, and I rested it on a pole. Then, it tipped over, and the seat tube and top tube caught the concrete steps. I don't see any cracks, but there are three small scuffs less than a couple of millimeters long on the seat tube and top tube. Should the frame be ok? s

A carbon fiber frame?

No, its totalled.



Get a steel frame, and a kickstand so it doesn't tip.
