Good bike says no good bye

the latest version

My English has been sluggish in practices. It maybe a good time to polish it.

A month age I fell down from my fixie, fixed gear bike.
After a quick checking, I though I was intact and the bike was slightly damage. The fork was truly bended, and the top tube and down tube of frame were also bended during the incident. The paint job of the frame was cracked, exposes the steel tube out. Even it is made in 757 steel tube, it was not strong enough to stand the pressure which my weight and G force add up. I was thinking if the fork had been weaker, the frame would have stand what it was by letting the fork neutralize the pressure.

Anyway, after replaced a carbon front fork, the bike is still working fine.
Front tube angle becomes sharper because of the incident. It makes bike behave more agile than before.

Nice to have it back, after few weeks waiting for parts.
