Repair Advice

Hi guys,
I got my brothers old bike out the garage that he had left behind
cannondale F900SL
he stopped riding it after a crash, the rear Chain stay ( I think thats what it is called) bent in, it was pulled back out and was still ridable, but obvious there is an issue of safety. Also there is still a slight bend, so the rear wheel rides very slightly angled. You can clearly see the point of impact, being dented and narrower then the rest of the frame.
I was just wandering if it is possible to have this properly repaired so I can take this off road again? and if so, any pointers to places I can check with. ( am based in London).
many thanks

No it is toast - suitable transplant frame needed. Very unlikely you'll get away with not needing anything but the frame.0

As above, frame is scrap, just get a decent used frame and swap over everything that will fit, which with a small bit of planning will be most of it!Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0
