Hi everyone,
I was hit by a car while training for IM Texas. I was riding my Cervelo P5. There was damage to the rear derailleur, Aduro Aerobars, pedals and rear wheel. All of this is easy to replace. I looked at he frame and the only damage I see is on the left seat stay. I've tried my best to get good pictures. Let me know what you think about the damage? Concerning? I think the damage was caused by a broken spoke during the accident.
From reading I see that many caution about invisible carbon damage. I was wondering if anyone here has used any type of imaging equipment to help determine the damage? I think I might have access to an X-Ray machine (as some suggested) but then I'm not sure if I (or a doctor) can look a the images and determine if there is an issue anywhere?
I have since then purchased a new P5 and I'm trying to decide what to do with old bike. I can't in clear conscience sell it to anyone even if I disclose that the bike was involved in an accident. I was thinking about fixing this bike up and using it on my bike trainer since it has the same geometry as my new P5.
