HAHAha.... Its funny this is a topic today!! I just ate it for the first time coming home from work in downtown Tampa!!! No worries though. I'm fine, and the bike is relativly scratch free. Frame sliders saved me a bunch of money!! The only thing that happened was the end of the shifter snaped off. I lowsided in loose sand in a curve....i knew i should have slowed down. Damn construction. Anyone have a shift lever they want to sell me? or have any experience replacing one? I figure it shouldnt be to hard. Its not IF you crash, Its WHEN you crash. ATGATT
