My boyfriend cracked the top tube of his Specialized this summer. Or rather, all the dudes falling down in front and on top of him in a race cracked the top tube. It was just a tiny crushed area, not a through and through crack. Tube was intact. He sent it to Calfee, who is going to repair the carbon for $250. Single color paint is $150 for him. Redoing some of the stripe designs with paint would be really expensive.

I had substantial damage to a carbon frame some years ago, when Calfee's prices were cheaper. My bike was involved in a rear impact while on the car bike rack incident. The downtube was connected but cracked through (highest level repair). Turns out the seat tube was also cracked due to some overtorquing (low level repair) (which I suspect was the LBS because I didn't do much tinkering with my bike at that time). I also killed the fork, which Calfee doesn't fix. I was looking at something like 600 for the repair including shipping, plus buying a new fork. Calfee's repair and paint prices have gone up a good big since then. For a low level frame, I decided it wasn't worth it. I just did crash replacement through the manufacturer, which cost me $1100 but allowed me to get a much higher level frame.

Anyway, I've seen some of Calfee's work (my boyfriend's is still out there getting worked on). They do a good job. You can tell the weave/layup is different, but I wouldn't hesitate to ride a bike after they repaired it.
