Gotta post the lows to appreciate the highs
A mid ride detour for a photoshoot resulted in my first damaged frame. Heading back to the group I was pulling in around a SUV in a driveway to get on the sidewalk. Trusted too much on them being a capable individual and had to swerve to avoid them pulling out of the drive.
Jumped a curb and had to aim between a grown bush and a short concrete bollard that opened just about a foot. Caught the bollard with my left crank and then the underside of my downtube.
I’m fine, bikes are replaceable and i’m not. Will see how this repair goes.

Holdon, I thought you put the frame under a frikkin dozer’s beak and just pushed so hard until it cracked. (which makes no sense now, as the wheels would be pushed in the sand)Â
Damn that doesn’t *LOOK* too good now does it

I’m glad you are okay. My friend fracutred his clavical when he had to maneuver out of the way because a unitlity truck cut him off – lost control and hit a curb. Hell, my back wheel got totaled because “I did not see you”.
