Did you get your frames repaired by someone else after RUKUS?

I have had a couple people use the Frame Doctor in Orlando and they have been very happy.

Anybody hear of reports of people repairing a frame and subsequently failing?

Ruckus talks a good game, and has some great tech at their disposal. I had to fix a Colnago that they repaired. In fairness was a bad break right at the seatstay/dropout junction caused by a derailleur failure. But there was so much excess epoxy, the smallest cog became unusable.
They have ultrasound, they understand layups, and if they're focused they do good work. They may have progressed beyond these issues. In fairness, they only had the bare frame and couldn't have known about the problem. But when contacted they shrugged. Hope they've progressed beyond their growing pains. Can't say for sure.

I just sent my Colnago up to Spyder Composites. Haven't gotten it back yet, but they seem to understand the issues and they x-ray the frame to get a better view. In particular, this last piece was interesting to me. I don't repair carbon myself but I feel like an x-ray would be a helpful diagnostic.

I am taking my bike to a local place - Coastal Carbon in Myrtle Beach South Carolina. The Cervelo a person I ride with had cracked - they did not know because it was on the bottom of the top tube - and the bike shop sent it to this place and it came back looking like new. Fingers crossed.

That’s good to know that Myrtle Beach has a shop that can do repairs!! I’m down there a couple times a month. Would be very easy for me to drop my repair off for them to repair. Please keep us posted on any results.

This is a brand new bike that I have had together only for a week. My fault 100% and he was very sympathetic and understanding of how I would like it to be.

So, I got my bike back last week and honestly, there is zero evidence that it was ever damaged. The repair is perfect. They did an absolute fantastic job that just blows me away. The time from drop off to pick up was 16 days (with a hurricane in the middle). They had said about 2 weeks and they were close (15 days when done but could not get there till the next day). I broke the bike down myself and rebuilt I myself as otherwise, bike shops were quoting times of 4-8 weeks! The shop is Coastal Carbon and if you need carbon repaired, I highly recommend them. Highly communicative and honest. Had it back for a week and have gotten three good rides with about ~120 miles and very happy. Will post pictures a bit later.

When he was building my 'cross bike, I really enjoyed the pickup/drop-off/pickup process.
