I took my bike into Evans Cycles to get an insurance quote two weeks ago after being hit by a car. The bike went under the car so I was pretty shocked when Evans told me I only needed a new front wheel and crankset. I asked if they'd done an alignment test as the frame looked bent. They said they had. I took it to Chamberlain Cycles in Kentish Town on Friday for a 2nd opinion. They said the bike is beyond repair and don't ride it as the carbon is screwed and out of alignment. The mechanic said it's bleedingly obvious, just look at it.
Can't believe Evans missed this. Frigging reckless cowboys.
