The mint condition S-Works SL6 from Dick was ~1600 with posh extra seatposts, axles, other trimmings
I still think about that.
I remember Hoops repaired sl6 coming up for sale and I thought that was a very fair price. I think a grand is about the most anyone would consider on a repaired frame.
It’s curious that the repair company don’t offer any warranty on the repair it self. Is this the norm across carbon repair places?
Fair enough if the seller is out of pocket here somehow and just trying to recoup their costs.
But I don’t really understand how they can end up being out of pocket here if it was damaged in transit. Why wasn’t there an insurance policy in place that would cover your costs?
TotalShanner-

They do offer a lifetime warranty for the repair, but its non-transferable.
@hoops -correct me if Im way off- that frame was essentially a £500 repair and a £800 paintjob. Thats a bargain.
Edit @TotalShanner tbf my phrasing was misleading, I said "comes without warranty" which isnt exactly true

Indeed. There's a 'shop soiled' 52cm with the warranty still intact for 3.5k available with a quick Google. This just looks like trying to get away with making back everything they spent on frame + repair

On the up side, 'quietly hoping it sits in our warehouse for 18months and I can buy it' is a decent shout at this price.
