My $1200 bike purchase:

2 new front teeth!

Why do we do this again?

*UPDATE* *UPDATE* *UPDATE*

I just purchased a sweet hot pink cast for a broken thumb that will match my handle bars perfectly for the next 4 weeks!

Also have to get my PT wheel rebuilt since the rims and spokes are trashed.

Yay bike racing!
