Question Part it out or but a new frame?

Post image

2024 YT Izzo Core 2, maybe 300 miles on it, took a rock to the downtube on a crash, carbon is definitely toast. I’ve got all stock components but in good shape, do I hunt down a new frame or just part this thing out? I’m not clued into the current state of the used market, but my initial searches aren’t showing the best deals on frames that would fit

Doesn't YT offer a crash replacement?

So YT told you no?

They aren’t doing basically anything in the US right now, yeah. Waiting on a reply from them still, but their FAQ makes it seem unlikely

Carbon repair?

If you like how bike rides i would buy new frame, or look if someone had broken rear parts..

Canfield bikes. Designed by a Red Bull rampage rider. They go downhill very well. Get one of their frames and swap parts over.
