Offer it up to the frame builders forum? But be useful for people to cut up and test their welding on?

The age of that thread is scary AF.
What have I done with my life?

If you use an indoor trainer, you could slap on a load of carbon around the BB and use it as a dedicated turbo trainer frame. That's what I did with an old carbon frame which had quite major damage to one of the chainstays. Reinforced the damaged area with UD carbon tape, and relegated it to Zwift/Sufferfest duties.

My Pearson Carbon Audax Pro frame went creaky around the bottom bracket a while back so I retired it.
It was secondhand when I got it and already fairly well used, and only cost me about £300 once I'd sold off the bits that came with it. Then I did 12,000km on it, so I feel like I've had my value for money.
I don't think it's worth repairing, so is it a case of take it down the tip? Is there anything less wasteful I could do with it? I'm not going to hang it on a wall or anything like that, it's not beautiful and that's not really my vibe...
