Disaster!

So I was just riding up kingsland road and my bike threw a chain, the wheel locked and everyting came to an abrupt stop. Now I've got home to assess the damage and one of the drop outs has bent out and snapped. Does this mean its all over for my frame or can it be fixed?

It can be fixed, whether it's worth it or not depends on your frame.

perhaps Brucy can help

Jeez, and there was I, thinking that Haiti was a disaster.

Thanks for the perspective...

Spunky lil' fucker, ain't he? He's beginning to grow on me... Even tho' he's got shit taste in bikes...

this thread would have been soo much better if the op had said "and then I skidded 50 feet just managing to keep the bike upright before narrowly escaping crashing into a lambo"
just saying for next time.

I certainly won't be looking into Mr Jones builds.

Reminds me of this...another piece of Fantasy.

What's with the young jibes? I'm old and past it.

Just out of interest.. what caused the chain to throw in your opinion? Poor chain line? Slack chain?

Those racist Italian Miche sprockets don't like Japanese chains very much.

Well its a Holdsworth La Quelda, I love it but its probably not worth pouring money into it to get it fixed... hmmmm
