I think I know what I'll be getting for my mid-twenties crisis in the next few years, so far I'm thinking a Fox 32 F-series fork, and some pimpy XTR brakes and drivetrain.

This is in my attic right now. Less than 100mi on it. Won't see action for the rest of the year

If your worried at all about it not getting enough use in your attic i'll happily take it off u for a few month to make sure everything keeps turning as it should

You've attributed that quote to the wrong boards member. dave2pvd is over in the States. Good luck with the pick up.

@dave2pvd - hope you have a swift recovery if it is an injury which is preventing you from cycling that thing. If it's because you've got something sweeter to ride then I'll wish you a swift injury

1st RR of the season. Smashed shoulder. 3rd degree separation. Collarbone in 13 pieces. 2 ligaments missing. Plate, screws, scars, the works.

...back to running for a while.

Ouch! Hope you can still continue on with the day job. Where did the ligaments go?

Raam · 24-05-2011 11:49AM

That is a nasty crash. Get well soon.

They were attached to the outer extremity of the collar bone. 2 of them. That part became shrapnel.

I was out of work for a week. Did 20hrs the following week. Then 30, then 40, etc. Took a while to get right again. Took longer to get off the Percocet and Oxycontin.

Anyway, physical therapy beckons....

Nice! You went new this time

What's the spec and what was the damage?

5T3PH3N · 25-05-2011 08:08PM

That Lapierre looks really, really nice Icyseanfitz! Which model is it? And what pedals are they, DMR V8's or wellgos or something like that?

Pro Race 200, was considering one a while back

Lemag · 26-05-2011 11:38AM

@ 5T3PH3N I've been hoping to see photos of that Grand Canyon AL of yours for a while. How are you finding it?

happytramp · 29-05-2011 09:15PM

Have to say this ebay listing has left me speechless. Beautiful item, no doubt, but it really makes me question the acceptable levels of obsession with a bunch of steel tubes and a couple of wheels.

Too many stupid people with too much money ruining it for the rest of us!

Jamis Dakar xlt 3.0 - import from Australia

Planning to do the wicklow way shortly, followed by a solo tour around Ireland as prescribed in this book which appears to be very good: http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/Cycle-Touring-Ireland-Tom-Cooper/9781852845629

Will the puddy-tat be accompanying you? Nice pic BTW ... but how is the bike supported?
[I'm tired, so maybe missing something obvious]

princdragoncok · 01-06-2011 10:36PM

you can't really see, but the puddy-tat is holding onto the frontwheel and therefore supporting the bike.
