Following in Imoncrank's footsteps, i have also broken my bareknuckle. Went straight into a kind of ditch last night. Initially i tried to ride on, but i had a flat, and I thought the wheel was just a bit buckled, released the brake cable and fixed the puncture. Rode to LBS to find this bastard dent in the downtube (i was wondering why it felt so twitchy and dead). Forks are also fuckered, bent steerer tube and its kinda ruptured by the right lug.
I think what happened was, my wheel hit the concrete with enough force that it bent the fork steerer tube in towards the frame, forcing the wheel into the frame and denting it. I'm alright, though.
So, i need : frame, forks, and probably a rim since the rim is a bit dented as well.
Thanks to dicki, raekwan (the chef!), and stef for seeing if i was alright.
What a drag...
