Following an accident, as can be seen from the first photo, this Ghost suffered a complete breakage of the right upper chainstay and a much lighter damage to another chainstay.

Even in seemingly hopeless cases like this, repair is possible, not only without any change in the performance and characteristics of the frame, but also with ample guarantees of durability.

The crack was caused by an accident and ran along the entire side of the rim, causing it to deform.

Before repairing it, it was therefore necessary to loosen all the spokes opposite the freewheel side in order to completely detension the rim and restore its flatness.

Subsequently, with the aid of a specially created mould, the crack was repaired, paying particular attention to the positioning of the carbon fibre to preserve its aesthetics.

The result is that the repair is practically invisible, but above all structurally guaranteed.

This latest 26-inch Scalpel model can be fitted with 27.5-inch wheels; in this case, the upper chainstay must be modified by moving it upwards so that it does not interfere with the seat post during the suspension phase.

The damage after the collision was really bad to look at, with the horizontal tube and down tube damaged on both sides, as can be seen in the photos. The unfortunate owner's first instinct was to throw away this Look frame worth over €4,000, but in reality, not only was repair possible with excellent results, it was also necessary given the value of the bike!

Some may doubt the durability of a repair of this magnitude, but Doktor Bike's twenty years of experience in working with composite materials, and in particular in their application in the bicycle sector, guarantees its reliability and durability.
