Propst, Stephen F.
Fellas—So good to hear from you all, it’s been way too long since I’ve gotten out for a ride with this gang. Gregg, it’s particularly good to hear that you’re in shape to ride. Sorry to miss this one, I’ll be flying back from London.

Alas, I have choir duty Sunday morning. Should be a great day — sunny and cool.

Stephen,
It’s great to hear from you! Apologies for the delayed response, I’ve been waylaid with work this week (and it feels like that every week). Thanks for the kind words on the house. We’re nearing the finish line with a move-in date likely in late November and I can’t wait to get in the new digs. There will be a small bike shop/closet in the back of the garage and any and all of you all will be welcome to wrench in there. Whenever we get our act together, I’ll have you all over to a housewarming as well and we could even start or finish by riding out beach drive to points north or south.
Re your Domane frame damage, sadly I’ve been in the exact same spot and chose to unload my frame. The uncertainty was just too much for me. I had a 3T Exploro gravel frame about five years ago (I think my last climbing camp in WVA) and I was running a funky too-wide-spread semi-compact gear combo of 52/34 and 11-34 and dropped my chain to the inside at least five times over a several week period. Each time it dropped I tried to pedal my way out of it, but didn’t realize pedaling out of an inside chain drop is NOT advised. The pedaling caused the chain to tighten and grind around the bottom bracket shell. Had to dismount and pull it back up and on. After the third drop, I even installed a chain catcher but the chain still managed to drop in there two more times. I figured I did cosmetic damage, but when I went to have the chainrings switched back to a more normal 50/34 combo, Russ from Spokes showed me that I’d carved/scored a deep circular gouge around the exterior of the bottom bracket shell with cut and frayed carbon fibre. I ended up giving Russ the frame and I think he had it checked and repaired but was never able to sell it for good money so he donated it to somebody else.
The net of all of that is that unless you are 100% certain that you’ve only got cosmetic surface scratches, I would heed the shop’s advice and get a new frame. Not a fun reason to spend big $$ when the frame has served you well for so long, but it would be NEW BIKE time and that’s always a good day. Frames have moved on a bit from when you bought that one, even though it was top of the line at the time.
If you’re determined to keep it, there’s a reputable carbon repair shop in NoVA that the local folks use, and have them x-ray it and give you the report first. You could also send it to Calfee as Gregg did.
Keep us posted on how it goes. And it would be great to see you sometime soon!
Best,
John
