Thanks for the detailed response.
I hope whoever broke it during re-boxing was given a good talking too.Think we'll drop to £2,500 given the general consensus.
It’s sad to see a business or anyone going out of pocket, but I don’t think £2500 really matches up with the general consensus here.
I suppose it’s worth whatever someone’s willing to pay though. But I’m sure you’ll understand it’s unlikely to get that sort of money on the forum.An eBay auction is probably the best route for this.

So what was the nature of the transaction with the customer who originally bought this?
Original customer was getting a money-no-option dream build. Frame was damaged during re-boxing and replaced by us.
Are you a retailer?
I'm not a retailer, but do manage one of the EBC branches. I've used LFGSS for a few years, privately. The frameset it's not being sold through normal business channels at the moment due to the warranty issue.
What’s the name of the business?
Edinburgh Bicycle Cooperative
Have you seen this one with warranty for another £500?
I hadn't, no. I did see the SL6 @hoops sold - I wanted to buy it.
Do you have photos of the damage before the repair?
I do now: (it's only the area within the white circled area - the white line is a carbon layer overlap). It was repaired by the same company Hoops used at a similar cost although we had the paint restored as well - not by hoops unfortunately.
If someone is generally interested drop me a DM. Think we'll drop to £2,500 given the general consensus.
