Hey gang -

LeeBob & I took my Lynskey over to wheelgirl in Berkeley today to get it checked out apres-crash.

(FWIW wheelgirl just moved to the corner of San Pablo Ave & Camelia St. in Berkeley, near REI & Gilman St.

The Lynskey is in remarkably good shape. We were joking over the fact that I took the brunt of the fall to save my bike - heh, yeah, I meant to do that.

The R230 frame has replaceable rear dropout/derailleur hangar which is a nice feature since mine will need to be replaced - much better than repairing the entire frame, that's for sure! - and a couple of spokes may need to be replaced on the rear wheel, which will need to be re-trued. And the cable cover on the rear der has to be replaced. The Brooks Team Pro saddle is a bit scuffed up on the right back side but that's mainly just cosmetic, and can be fixed w a good leather polish/protectant.

Apart from that though, not much else! The XTR rear derailleur is a bit scuffed up and Kurt will double-check it once the der hangar is replaced, but apart from that everything else (incl the frame, fork and seatpost) have a clean bill of health.

The bike came through this much better than did I.

And it was really nice to get out of the house for a while today - a great day.
