essex road, midday saturday.
car pulls infront of me from the right, trying to park or something, i was propper pushing it, having just watched a morning of olympic track cycling and being slightly late for work. i pull on the front brake to avoid collision, the brake completely locks up on me, i go straight out the front door. obviously very annoyed with the driver, give her a good lung full. she comes out, appologies and that crap and get ready to go one my way, fairly grazed and bruised but none too bitter.
but then i noticed this,
completely fucked, huge bend on the down tube between the F and E and the join between the top tube and steering tube is all skew. and i didn't even hit her. then followed getting the bus to the south bank to be dressed as a chicken for 2 hours, Fucking great fun.
absolutely loved that frame, thinks it been through a fair few forumengers hands and its sad that it was me who managed to kill it without actually being involved in a propper crash. anyway back on the langster untill i can find pennies for a new frame, its gonna feel like riding a boring black mass produced turd.
