• A disaster with the blue Gillott I posted a few days ago- 2nd ride in to work on it today and I still hadn't quite adjusted the rear derailleur fully- I ended up overshifting it into the rear wheel spokes and it got ' sucked in' to the wheel, snapping the drive side drop out, spokes and bending the derailleur in the process- que a long and depressing 5 mile walk to work.

    So a trip to Varhona frameworks may be in order to get a new dropout fitted, although considering they are very unlikely to have any of the original matching 'stallard' dropouts I may need to have two new dropouts fitted, probably campagnolo with mudguards eyes will be the best match if they have any. A bad day indeed...

  • Ouch. Painful to read.

    Ping the Gillott group on Facebook, maybe a couple of dropouts will pop up

  • Apart from the damage to the frame which is bad enough, i did feel for you after having to push the bike into work ive been in the postion myself and its soul destroying.
    Anyway on a more positive note how are you getting on with repairs.
