Season's Greetings!
My Name is CJ Smith, I am a 43 year old cycling enthusiast with twenty-five years riding experience both on and off road. I am writing to you today because earlier this year I had a drive-side dropout break on a carbon road bike.
I am now trying to find two things. First, a company than can reproduce BOTH dropouts in Ti, NOT aluminum, and second, a place that can repair the damage done.
I have heard of companies doing carbon repair, but thus far I have no leads on the dropouts, so this project is at a stalemate.
I found this forum and thought that perhaps someone could shed some light on this issue.
I would very much appreciate any information that can be provided to initiate a resolution to my bicycle dilemma.
Thanks, in advance, for your time, co-operation and replies to this matter.
NOTE: I posted under framebuilders as well, but posting here is a must since most of the gurus I have met call the "wrench" part of the bike shop home.
Respectfully I Remain,
CJ, "Wrenching" as a U.S.M.M.... since 1986
