Specialized Rockhopper Aluminium Frame repair

[K1566]

Hi I had similar incident years ago.
Get your LBS to declare it as a write off.
Then claim cost of replacement from insurer. If you can get 30% off from Speciized that will allow you to upgrade.
Good luck with the claim.

Yes - everything's going through her insurance, but her insurance company want me to get quotes for repair!

A quote from the Yellow Jersey on aluminum frame repairs.

But I believe they are closed. To rework an aluminum frame, it has to be
stripped of finish, fully annealed then cut/welded and re-tempered then finished.
The welding and tempering bring up issues with heat warping of a closed figure.
Aluminum frames are usually not expensive enough to bear the cost.
