Forks for sale??
Leaving Hotham today after the climbing camp we get 100 metres down the road and all of a sudden i can see my bike from the passenger side window. Thinking that that can not be good i get out to find i hadnt tightened the skewer enough and the bike has dropped out snapping off one of the arms of my fork dropouts. bah!! Anyone know of a set of carbon forks going cheap around the melbourne parts? I can get away with spending about 300 i guess. it is a 58cm frame so the steerer will have to be fairly long... -- byron27

The rest of the bike ok? yeah, it bounced off the top of the car! kind off lucky for me. Not so lucky for simon's car... I had an incident on the way down to toll booth with a bee as well. He got caught in my ear but luckily didnt deliver the final blow. -- byron27 6'5", curly hair, bit like krusty the clown i spose

I checked the CA insurance policy rates ... if you lose an eye from it, you get $3000. That'll just about get you a powertap SL 2.4

I'd have given that to you as it is of no use to me (too short a steerer). I don't want to throw it away as that's just plain wasteful. Lotte -- LotteBum
