WANTED! Broken carbon frames or components

Postby sydmike » Sat Feb 12, 2022 9:05 am

Hi All

I’m entering into a small research project with USYD, and need as much old/broken carbon fibre bike parts as I can get my hands on.

Would anyone be willing to donate?

I’m based in Tasmania - however, can organise pick up in Sydney or Melbourne. Happy to consider a courier pick up anywhere in AUS though!!

I have a broken handlebar I can send you kicking around somewhere, I'll have a dig around for it.
I had a thought, but it got run over as it crossed my mind.

Thanks Michael. If it’s made of carbon I’ll take it!

I have a Merida Scultura frame with a genuine "just riding along" cracked seat stay. I'm based in Melbourne, but if you can arrange collection of it I am happy for it to be put to use.
