Well, I've decided to go with Calfee for the repairs. If DH ever wants to do a cheaper repair on his bike, he can. I want a solid frame I can trust! I called a Specialized shop in town - the manager was less than enthusiastic about working on an exchange with specialized, particularly since I didn't buy my bike there. I'll call the shop tomorrow where my former bike store owner friend now works, she said they could help me - I guess I need them to see the damage before they can do anything. My bike is at my mechanics getting stripped now. I would love to get a discount upgrade, especially the way bike prices are set to rise in 09! Tokie
