I'm thinking of picking up a Carbon Fibre frame that has been replaced under warrentee by Cannondale.

The reason it was replaced is that there is a crack in the lacquer, and it was impossible to tell if the crack went into the Carbon, or was merely cosmetic.

It's a very expensive frame that is going for a song- but before I ride it I would need to know that it was not going to kill me.

So- does anyone have access to an X-Ray machine, or other device that could reveal what is going on under the paint?

If it has been replaced under warranty Cannondale surely would have insisted on having it back?

Nope, they said "keep it" apparently. According to the current owner at least, an element of Caveat Emptor always exists it is true.

Be wary, most top companies would ask for the bb shell to be cut out and sent to them, if not the whole frame.

Is there a radiologist in the house?

You could go to a vets and get it done. I think someone in my family had something like that done it was about a ton. With the new technology that is purely digital it may be cheaper. Phone up and ask a few vets.

one of your family got there x-rays at a vet. wasn't your pig that spunked on you? ;)

That could be a good avenue to follow- the housemate is a sales rep for Vetinary Pharma stuff, it's her job to get on with Vets.

If only there were a radiologist fakenger on the forum!

Radiologenger.

Red lorry. Yellow lorry.

Thinking about this a little more- does anyone on here work for a big company that would have an X-ray machine in the post room for scanning incoming post for bombs/dead squirells etc?

If so, and you get on with the facilities staff please let them know that a round of drinks awaits a quick "borrow" of their scanner.

Yes. I work for a X-ray company. I work on machines which go down to <1µ resolution.

I'm working in Belgium the beginning of next week, but I may be able to take it at the end of the week. Or if you can wait, I could take it on the 8th/9th.

PM me.

Fantastic- many thanks, I have PM'd you.

O RLY?

I have this kinda sharp pain in my right leg.. it's sort of been there for a few weeks now, and this morning i noticed the bone was sticking out of the side? Any chance of an x-ray? I think it might be a slight fracture.
