DJR Posted April 13, 2019 Share Bit underrated my much maligned trekThe right year, 1999 - quite a historically significant bike in that it was the first non European bike to finish the TDF first* and seriously nice to ride - it weighs 8kgs dead and that 10 speed veloce not the lightest groupset - another piece of useless info is that the frame at 912g was revolutionary and consumers got the same frame as the teamThe fact that Lance later gave it a bad reputation should not detract from the fact that it was a fantastic bike. Pretty sure it can easily be built to below 7kg with pretty much stock standard bits from the time. Andrew_Smith and Wayne pudding Mol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanbean Posted April 13, 2019 Share We started off a lekker ride, riding the first 30km of GKT, beautiful ride to start off a "race", and my companions persuaded me to change the route. Then once on the straight flat? gravel roads, I decided to take a pic of the Windvogelberg, a landmark of note, when I hit a patch of corrugations. Bike went one way(and it's okay if anyone is worried, but the Bigwig takes more than a flat road spill to damage it) and I went the other way. The picMy knee was a mess. Ended up in surgery to clean the knee joint. BenReaper, Hairy, Andrew_Smith and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJR Posted April 14, 2019 Share Eina, hope it heals well and quickly. Never nice if a ride ends at the hospital. Hairy, deanbean and Wayne pudding Mol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you did a proper job there.Haven't a clue, but when the doc saw me this morning he said that the cut was the tip of the iceberg. There's apparently extensive degloving up the leg, so will be out of action for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not an invalid and I have a very high pain threshold and don't like taking pills.[emoji23] Vetseun and Spokey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
