What’s the width of the hole?

Damn thats a bummer, you could braze new ones in and just rattle can the bits where the paint is damaged. Or rivnuts but they're less fun, no fire invoved.

A steel rivnut, splined for preference, and a blob of epoxy should be fine. If you want a suitable rivnut, let me know. I have many.

Sam at Stayer did a similar repair for me (rack mount had pulled out). For full repair plus new powder coat I think you would be looking at around £80.

Today I managed to fall into/onto a fallen tree branch - it was a pretty big tree - and the branch basically levered off the bottle cage and one of the mounts from the down tube. A bit of a bummer since this bike is only two or three months old.
Would it be possible to epoxy/glue/rivnut these back in or is it back to a framebuilder to torch the shit out of my almost brand new frame?
I should add, I'm not a framebuilder...
