crack

I just bought a new Blue Competition cycles RC4 carbon from my team, and I need to sell my old bike. I was wondering, is there any way to fix a crack where the seatclamp goes over the frame? Also, the BB shell is loose, not the actual BB but the shell, and we couldnt figure out what was ever wrong until now, any way to fix that?

Assuming its an aluminum or CroMo frame you could have it welded

its carbon but where the seatclamp is its aluminum and the BB shell is also aluminum

Good landfill material.

hmmm tend to agree with the landfill comment. repairing a bonded lug carbon frame is bad juju.

maybe suitable for an indoor trainer only bike. drill holes through the tip of the cracks to act as crack stoppers and hope for the best.

i can fix the seat tube part pretty easily but the loose BB shell could be a problem, so ill probably end up selling the bike as individual parts, then hang the frame as a piece of art in my room...🙂

After talking to both of my coaches, Ive decided to make it a trophy on my wall and sell components as parts.
