Dunno if that's what happened to you, but I'd take a magnifying glass to the inside of the big chain ring to see if you've got any misaligned pins, damaged chain ramps, or a bent tooth. It'd be pointless to get your frame repaired because this will happen again unless you find and fix the problem. |
HazeT is this your Workswell 066 frame?

Spyder Composites in the San Jose area can have that repaired in a week. They did a repair on my Raleigh with both chainstays cracked at the bottom bracket. This is what i would consider to be a minor repair.

Do you think a bad chain line could also cause the problem? when I put the bike together I completely neglected looking at chain line. |

If you've got a bent tooth, damaged ramp, or misaligned chain pin, you're going to drop your chain regardless of the chain line. The thing about this kind of problem is that it's damn near impossible to replicate, because you have to shift at exactly the right moment in exactly the right conditions to hit that pin in the right spot. I had hundreds of miles between instances.
