Frame Builders in SoCal for a repair?

[David Hong]

Hey everyone, 

Can anyone recommend a frame builder to repair a steel fork in Southern California? 

One cantilever boss is snapped and the other is crooked.

Thanks for any direction!

Are you going to want paint? 

My first stop would be CycleSmiths

If you are in the San Diego area, Joe Bell or Rob Robertson could probably take care of your repair needs.  619-469-4312

In San Luis Obispo, Julian at Wally's Bicycles repaired the fork on Bob (Bob Jackson that is). 805-400-5638

Peter, 

Thanks for the rec. I spoke with CycleSmiths and unfortunately they said that they don't touch cantilever bosses.

Would also be interested, for those who can add m5 bosses and internal dynamo routing.

Hey David,

You could try to get in touch with Robert Coble at bicycles of ojai. 

Good luck,

Danny

Cycle-Art will do it.  You will need to ship it to Santa Barbarba, but the man is a pro.

Hey everyone, 

First wanted to thank everyone with their recommendations.

I ended up going with James B's rec and got linked up with Joe and Rob in San Diego. As expected, Rob did the repair well and in a timely manner. Gave me great advice: Don't break them again. 

For anyone in the future in the same predicament, there was two others that were willing to do the job:

Erik Billings in Oakland.

and Brad Hodges in Sacramento

Would've considered either if I wasn't able to get connected with Rob.
