Sneak Peak Revealed...My New Ride

[Seandmerida96]

Sorry to have to tell you all but I crashed it on Saturday at the DC

 

I sliced a tubbie over the railway and went down as I lost traction. Luckily the frame didn't even get a scratch on it and my Bora was also unscathed. My elbow broke most of it's fall, and my shoe made sure the crank and pedals were fine!

 

So a small scuff on the RD, Right Shoe and Shifter and saddle got nailed along with my elbow is all the damage it took. I remounted after getting a wheel and powered home.

Well, it doesn't look too bad that elbow, Tarmac.

And your iron horse is pretty intact.

 

Well done on finishing!

hey tarmac, was it you that borrowed my front wheel? (black shimano wheel) - i got to the finish and our dude in the team car said he lent some guy my front wheel after said dude crashed on the railway lines after the robertson circle. i'd punctured earlier and was riding a spare.

I waited for my team car and took my own wheel. but my team mate roger buckled his front and i think got your as a spare. it was right at the railway. I remember it being a black/silver wheel?

 

Have you got it back?

yep, that sounds like it was my wheel, my mate in the team car got it back at the finish. glad to hear it helped someone out! eveything goes around (excuse the obvious pun!) - maybe next time it'll be me waiting to swap out for one of those bora beauties

 

glad your bike was ok btw!
