Agaromba is here to solve a big problem in the bicycle industry that most people aren’t aware of. It’s not about a new whiz-bang electric handlebar or some whacky new race. It’s something we can no longer afford to ignore—waste.
When you damage your carbon bicycle and get a crash replacement from the manufacturer, they chop your old frame in half dump it in a landfill. It’s not worth their time to repair, so they destroy what may very well be a perfectly serviceable frame — needlessly creating more waste.
Some companies are working on technology to recycle carbon fiber — but it’s not there yet. And in an economy built on consumption, there’s not a lot of motivation to recycle..
Here at MMFG, we do everything we can to keep carbon fiber frames on the road, safe and strong to handle the use and abuse of riders like you and me. Repairing your damaged carbon fiber frame, whether it’s one of our custom frames or from some other brand, just makes good sense. And a professional carbon fiber repair is often a fraction of the price of a crash replacement. Agaromba is the next step in our pursuit to do our part to be more responsible stuarts of the environment, and advocates for better industry practices.
Agaromba is a line of competitive carbon fiber frames equal in quality to the bikes made by the top manufacturers. But with one key difference: if you damage it, we’ll fix it. If it’s legitimate crash damage, the repair is free of charge.
Hopefully, along the way, we’ll change the way people think about the sustainability of the bikes they choose. And if a few of you choose Agaromba, then we’ll all be a little bit closer to a world with fewer bikes in the trash, and more on the road.
