If you do get a new bike ensure it is not carbon. Obviously, you have a deep distrust of the material as others on this forum, even if you get a new bike next time you drop it or hit a pothole you will be going through all this again. The consensus seems to be custom titanium which can be purchased for just a few dollars more than the bike you are presently riding, at least that is from what I hear on the forums.
