scratched/damaged carbon fiber frame
I shipped my bike from Cali and didn't pack it so well. The frame has a scratch/gash. It's 2016 BMC Time Machine 01, not cheap. R&A suggested BrooklynCarbon.com for the repair. Has anyone ever used them, or can recommend another shop that is skilled in this type of repair? There is no real structural damage, but the gash is a bit more than a superficial scratch.
