On my C'dale Supersix Himod I've use Deda long expander 70 mm instead C'dale light construction, Hopefully I can avoid carbon steer tube breaking under load. I have accumulated many samples of 10-50mm rings from cutting the head tube. High-quality carbon fiber has thin walls and can withstand enormous compressive loads. Chinese brands and even middle-end line Canyon have thick walls. Despite this, they break very easily. I don't have an accurate frame to test for fracture load, but cheap carbon is dangerous to ride.

Incredible. Was that dropout originally a plug-end inserted into chainstay tube or did they cut right angle at a crack and "create" the male plug end with filler? Why would anyone make a bad steel splint when making a stiff, custom-fit CF splint (that wouldn't have rusted) was the simpler solution? I guess no CF and epoxy in the cabinet, just bondo and paint?

And this is why I will never own a carbon frame. Carbon frames are dangerous for bicycles regardless of cost/manufacturer. A steel or alloy frame will generally give waring signs before complete structural failure, cracks/creaking etc. How many used carbon frames hide a multitude of sins behind a lash up paint job. And that's just the parts of the frame you can see!

Expensive road bikes are the biggest industry Con going...For every 80 pro frames made for the Tour...they expect a failure rate of 10 frames...Carbon fibre is the only construction material that cannot be tested for its breaking point...because its so inconsistent ....This is why people like James Cameron who is a certified engineer...refuse to use it ...Also failure in the fork crown is common...leading to bad accidents !

No drama - just machine an equivalent steel dropout and weld it to the rest of the steel tube.

Importer: "not a problem we will have your frame fixed under warranty" Would be interesting to know the history of this frame, if the customer knew it was repaired, did they buy 2nd hand etc. Ive heard of some real dodgy stuff done at the factory even, like last years paint scheme under this years paint scheme etc.

Back in the day, Colnagos had steel frames & forks. Maybe the repairer was just harking back to Colnago's roots?

You can still get a Colnago Master X Light frameset, including the old Mapei colourway in lugged steel, might have been cheaper……

@@kevinriseborough1521 Thanks, brings back memories of when I began racing in the early '70's. On the start line on my lowly Peugeot PX-10 totally intimidated by guys on beautiful Colnago's, Masi's, DeRosa's, etc, figured I had zero chance. Wondered why they were nowhere to be seen in the bunch as we sprinted to the finish line (Novice races were too short for breakaways even if we had known how to break away). An epiphany when I finally figured out after 4-5 races "it's not about the bike". Armstrong was right about that part at least. Eventually upgraded to a Schwinn Paramount, fairly plain so I didn't get the idea that my bike was so beautiful I didn't have to pedal.

Maybe this was the best someone could do before they would throw this away, or perhaps someone paid a full price for this who knows. It was still holding up when it reached you no? Not saying it's good work, but kept it going until they found someone better.

No, the bond at the dropout has failed and the dropout was loose as shown, it was rusty and I could just pull it out.
