The least expensive repair I have heard about, or seen, through Calfee was $400 plus shipping and insurance both ways. Last bike we sent in went over $600 by the time it was back with matched paint. To be fair, it looked absolutely spectacular. Personally, I would look at a new (to you) used frame in good shape, sell that to someone willing to deal with it and call it a lesson learned...this is, of course, dependent on what level of frame that one is. I would not ride it as is.
