You did what to my bike???

[stratus5]

As mentioned in a post detailing my trip home from Knysna, I had to stop multiple times and perform running repairs on my car.

 

During one stop in the dark and rain I took the bike rack off containing my wifes MTB and somehow forgot to put it back on. My bike was in the car luckily. I remember a slight bump as I left the parking spot, so probably reversed over it as well  Realised to late in the trip to do anything about it and the car was on its last legs at that point.

 

So... I am looking for a replacement. Anybody suggest or know of a decent medium ladies full suss frame, new or second hand? Cash is tight (car will cost a fortune to repair), so I would rather get a halfway decent frame and build it up with some existing decent components that I have for now.

 

Thanks

Craig

Someone posted a topic last week that they picked up a bike rack next to the road with a bike still in it. Do a search, might be yours.

from his post, it doesn't sound like it would've resembled a bike. wish i could help you out, but i only own small frames. hope you come right.

Lemme guess, your wife is not too happy with you right now? I know i wouldnt be.

[stratus5]

Uhmm, she's not exactly chuffed , but kind of understands.

 

Will find out next time we have a disagreement for sure. Embarrassing moments like that have a habit of being brought up at the most inopportune times.

stratus5, pm holy and ask him what deal he can work for you and we'll find a way to get it down to you. even if i have to bring it down when i come down to visit my folks (will most prolly be next month sometime).

 

yep, that other thread had been in kloof - KZN area, and had 2 bikes i think...

Ouch.....

The Mrs can't be too happy.....

 

Good luck stratus5!!!

 

Best advice would be......give her your own bike and get yourself an upgrade....

[slowpoke]

oh, sorry, will look at some prices. think there maybe a coupla older anthem and trance frames in the warehouse. sure we can work something out, but i reckon he may want to go the 2nd hand route.

[slowpoke]

holy, he owes her big time so let's see if you can convince the shop owner to help the dude out

 

i know that i, if i were her, would be insisting on a new replacement to prove that the useless car is not more important than me....
