After stopping for a participant's flat tire in the TBx, I flipped my father's Downtube at the Pelham Cemetary because I squeezed the brakes too tightly at an unfamiliar junction. The organizers dropped the ball at one turnpoint and it was unclear where to go. (more than 1 I must add).

I need some help here. :( In fact I'm looking for a replacement saddle if someone doesn't want it any more, preferably a replacement Velo Plush that comes with a Downtube. Better than leaving it at a landfill!

Thanks.

EEk - are you OK?

I have an extra big wide cushy saddle if you're interested. May want to post over here (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=122760) too - most of the DT owners have upgraded their saddles and are willing to let go of some junk ;) Actually, that's how I got the one on my roadie.

Thought I had an extra but can't find it right now, could be wrong.

The bike flipped. I had just a few scratches on my hand. I couldn't catch the bike in mid-air haha.

My pops complains that his butt hurts too much, so I could try the extra big wide cushy. If it works for you Air, I hope it's an upgrade for pops. Hope I can pick it up next time we meet up! Thanks in advance!

No problem - coming tonight for Times-Up? If so I'll bring it with me.

Thanks, G. I can't make it tonight. Maybe we'll do a day ride next week...
