Does it have to be carbon? TBH I'd be a bit wary of a second hand unwarranted carbon frame
Depends what it is, whether it can be repaired?I have heard that. Maybe I should save and get my current bike repaired.
My current bike is a 2016 Giant/Liv Avail - I’ll take into my bike shop Friday and see what they say. I’ve looked it over and apart from the back wheel, which is buckled, it seems ok. But I’m no expert!@Doobiesis, been loosely following your misadventures. So happy to see you are getting back on your bike.
Another suggestion: if you can't find a carbon frame you can afford, then get an alu (or steel) bargain to tide you over, and swap it for a carbon frame when you can afford one.
