had a bad crash during training at the track- cracked the fork crown and but a nasty dent in the top tube of my custom steel frame. it's at the shop to be fixed, but with a three-four year (literally!) list of people with deposits in for complete bikes the old guy is pretty low priority. i'm still all fucked up from the accident, but wanted to be able to get back out as soon as my arm works half right. i rubbed my credit card vigorously between my hands and poof! new bike. i'm waiting for parts t put a sort of matching front wheel together, but you get the idea. so far i like the carbon, but i've only managed a half hour or so on the rollers before i started crying like a girl and clutching my hurt parts. i wish my magic visa card could fix them, too.
