my girlfriend had quite a bad crash. she had to swerve out of the way of a reckless driver and hit a wall. luckily she was not too badly hurt........her bike on the other hand was mangled. big bulge in the down tube and forks will no longer turn...... the front wheel is now a taco.

has anyone a replacement frame and forks. anything considered. the frame she had is a 54 seatube.... she wants to get back on the road asap. can anyone help a sister out?

Sorry to hear of crash - I have two options for you - a Raleigh Silhouette that has just been powder coated a nice cream colour with matching rear carrier, £120, or an unrestored Puch Princess in a metallic sage green, still a complete bike which you can ride away for £50 but needs some TLC or can be a donor bike + spares. The Raleigh is 54cm c2top, the Puch a bit shorter but long in top tube so with the right seat post should be fine. Both are in SE1/Waterloo. I have spare wheels etc. too if needed.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
