Crash Replacement
To disable ads, please log-in.
Well, last month, I crashed my Ruby. The rider behind plowed into me, and his pedal (I think) gouged/damaged my downtube. Shoot, concrete is hard
. Well, my elbow is all healed up, and my crash replacement is in so I picked it up Friday, and it went on it's maiden voyage yesterday. It's a Ruby, but the Expert this time (had the entry level Elite). I had the store transfer my stuff over to it, and I replaced the damaged 105 shifters with Ultregra SL.
Excuse the crappy picture, it was a quick grab-shot after it's first ride.
I had ridden it on the damaged Aspide saddle, then bought the Bontrager on the way home. I guess I have 90 days to see if it works for me; I will post what I find out in either the hated or loved saddles. Hope I like it, it is a very nice looking saddle.Tzvia- rollin' slow...

Ditto what the other ladies said. Sorry about the crash. That's a heck of a nice looking bike. I like the little bit of curve they put in the TT & seat stays.

That new frame has an awesome color scheme! Looks fast! Enjoy! (ps, yes dirt or a plump rider to land on are much softer than concrete or asphalt!) Tokie

Nice New Ride!! The InForm looks great in red. Much snazzier than my white/blue. Hrm.

oooh! Nice! I lost my classic 1983 Vitus road bike in a crash. I was very sad about it, but happy to be alive and talking and walking. My replacement bike is a Luna, so it all worked out. I'm glad you're okay.

All of this has me talking to my insurance agent about an endorsement on my renters policy for my bikes...
