at the end of the day you should always expect the unexpected

1+ althought that does not mean you have to cycle in a defensive manner, just with extra precaution is all that needed.

This wasn't quite in the 1%. I know it's my fault (too fast, too close), and I was just looking to blame someone else and rant. Fortunately, the forum came through and brought me back down to earth -- first reply was a suggestion to take lessons!

More importantly than me riding like a div, what frame/forks?? Anyone got a 64cm+ frame and forks knocking about?

least you realise that it's your own fault and accept it, just put it down to experience of which you've surely gained.

64cm?? bloody hell, I do feel for you, keep looking in the classified section as well as the ebay/craiglist topic as I'm pretty sure you'll find a replacement.

failing that, just concentrate on looking for a replacement fork, threaded or threadless it doesn't matter as long it's 1" and long enough for your headtube (that if your frame appear to be fine, i.e. the tubing near the headtube aren't slighty bend, which can be hard to spot).
