There's so many out there calling themselves professionals, but they can't land properly or hold a good position in the air.

And you'll probably get awful cramps.

What's your budget? Most Campagnolo Shamals are around 1400g so you won't get a ton of weight reduction :-s

Sold in Europe as in selling them online in Europe. Didn't take postage into consideration. They can make the buyer pay the fees (like $20 on eBay or something?) and just send it.

It CAN be repaired, but it will not be as strong as it was before and it is more likely to cause problems earlier than it would normally do. Carbon fiber is meant to resist being bent, but it has very low resistance to cracking and hitting.

Best tip I got in a while.

Actually we don't breathe the same air. Living in the countryside is fairly healthier than living in a busy city filled up with cars. :D And I would do what works for me, but I don't know if coffee does, that's why I asked, actually.

Not that much, honestly. You pick up speed and just go for it, hoping to land okay - is that skill?

When the carbon fiber gets cracked, fibers separate, and therefore a repair will not be able to reconnect them. Compaction will not be the same and eventually all the fibers will follow the same path, resulting in a potential injury. Here's a link you can take a look at. Click here.

A good job done, yes, should bring the bike back to normal, but a poor job done can bring accidents not long after repairing. From what I know, the protruding section will cause weakening in the area around where the crack used to be, and over time, depending on what kind of terrain you're...

And bad Iron uptake can result in weakened immunity system/endurance, right?

Nothing does. And how to crash is, for many, the second most valuable thing after knowing how to pedal.

Does it affect performance(strength/endurance) in the long run? I've been a coffee drinker for quite some time now and recently I've been feeling weakened. I'm pretty healthy so I blamed it on the coffee. I don't have any problems sleeping or anything, but I just wondered, could that be the cause?

I would really not repair a carbon fiber frame. I'd really just change it. Carbon fiber is not the same after it's been damaged, so you're most likely to have problems more often.
