I took my new frameset to my LBS to get bottom bracket and headset fitted.
I left the shop and when I returned minutes later I saw the mechanic using a pipe cutter to cut the carbon steerer! I stopped him and told him he should use a hacksaw and guide but the cut was almost completed. He said he will complete it with a hacksaw but he didn't understand that the damage was done (the creaking carbon should've been an indication).
I have no intention of riding a delaminated carbon fork and I'm not sure he'll admit causing any damage or agree to replace the fork!
What should I do if that is the case?
Thanks
