Consider yourself lucky. I leaned/balanced my (first and only) carbon bike on a rock structure for a photo, and a big wind gust blew it over making the seat stay hit a rock that was down below, mildly splintering the carbon stay. $350 for a full LBS strip of the components, shipping the frame to a pro carbon repair shop, and the LBS re-mounting all components.
