CycloCarbon - Cool carbon repair

[AngryScientist]

Just saw this on ebay.

Looks like they had a damaged Lynskey frame, cut out the bad Ti and fab'd carbon tube replacement section.

very cool. if this were my size, i might be tempted to give it a go if it were a little cheaper.

I bet these guys do some good carbon repair work based on the apparent quality of this rig.

Drew does some really great work. I believe he started doing carbon repairs for race car parts before he got into repairing bikes.

I saw this the other day, and was very inpressed. This is even the right size for my lady, however she doesn't ride road enough to justify the purchase, as much as I want to.

that paint matched wound-up really looks the business on this frame too. The more i look at the whole thing, the more i like it!

[ColonelJLloyd]

That is pretty cool!

I interacted with Drew once about some parts for sale on FB--seems like a stand up guy (transaction got messed up, but he made it right).

Also check out his custom repaints on FB: https://www.facebook.com/cyclocarbon

I like this Look repaint (https://imgur.com/a/uaR2nqu):

I reached out to him a couple times for possible carbon repair, and although I didn't end up using him he was always very responsive and courteous.

Over the past couple years he's been working on his painting skills to match with his carbon repair, and this bad boy is still my favorite of the repaints.

Yeah, that evo is pretty spectacular. My buddy Pat sent his Crux to Drew to get repaired and repainted. He wanted it in vintage Toyota IMSA colors.

oh man that crux is so good.

this shows the artist. the person with a vision. i could never come up with something like that and it's great!

now i'm the one getting crazy ideas!

[Blue Jays]

Whoa, cool thread!
As a person with limited "artistic vision" in my mind, stuff like this helps boost creativity, for sure.

"The paint is didspade metallic kameleon with ppg clear."

Not heard Chameleon finishes referred to in their technical terms before. Or spelled that way either. ;) Makes it sound extra special too!.

If they are offering/including some sort of warranty with it, not a bad value IMO either.

I like it myself. Now I want to find and old broke OCLV and a damage Ti bike and frankin-bond something together...

Nah, I'll just ride. :bike:

He guarantees most, if not all of his repairs for life. (keep in mind that it's a small business)

Great guy, someone you can feel good about supporting.

[DeBike]

That is work by artisan with wonderful vision a great talent. All of those bikes are fantastic!

[coreyaugustus]

He does a lot of really creative stuff, but I think my favorite is the Cervelo Rca (https://www.facebook.com/cyclocarbon/photos/pcb.2446315378723859/2446314432057287/) with gold and silver foil on black. It's not the flashiest or most complex, but it's my favorite.
