Weirdest thing happened to a carbon frame
Hi everyone,
I had a small crack on my handmade italian carbon road bike frame and took it to a very well-known and respected carbon framebuilder for repair (he's not who made the frame). He took one look and told me he couldn't work on it because the frame is defective and it's dangerous.
He pointed out what looks like plastic (possibly packaging material from the carbon layup process) embedded inside the tubes in the damaged area and possibly in the entire frame. According to him, this shouldn't be there and makes the frame compromised and weak.
is it really a manufacturing defect? the person who made the frame is also very know for making good frame made in italy... did he messed up an entire frame in that way?
Any insight would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!
