Default carbon frame repair

Is it possible to repair a carbon frame? I'm refering to a large crack in the top tube of a Cannondale six13

I know this doesn't answer your question, but unless you're doing something crazy, you should be covered by warranty. And I quote:
FRAMES (frame, fork structure, swing arm): Cannondale frames (except freeride, see below) are warranted by Cannondale Bicycle Corporation, 16 Trowbridge Drive, Bethel, CT 06801 against manufacturing defects in materials and/or workmanship for the lifetime of the original owner.

How did the crack occur?

A "large crack in the top tube" ?? I'd say it's a bin job, or a wall decoration to remind you how not to treat a lightweight frame.

I've got a titanium wall hanging for just that reason.

Thie bike is for sale so I'm not sure how it occured-thought I might be able to pick up a bargain but I am now thinking it would be better if it was someone elses problem. Thanks for your replies.
