Wife hit by car this weekend. In need of 2010 BH Cristal Frame/Fork.
My wife was hit by a car this weekend. Luckily, she will be ok. Her bike, however, is trashed. And my wife is devastated.
This bike meant the world to her, and I am trying my best to find a replacement frame/fork.
If anyone knows of a 2010 BH Cristal frame/fork in pink (Size Medium - 55) that may be available, PLEASE let me know.

Damn. Glad she's okay. Sorry to hear.
I'm on Ebay constantly. I'll keep a look out.

Sorry to hear about the accident. Glad she's okay.
Hate to say it, but that's going to be difficult to replace. Maybe she can love another bike.

BTW, I am also very pleased she is not seriously injured. Will you be getting some compensation toward the replacement, or was she at fault?

Both!
She would laugh if someone even mentioned naming a bike. lol
She was not at fault, and we should be getting compensated.
Thanks to everyone for the positive thoughts and concern.

Thought about contacting BH and telling them her story? It's a long shot, but maybe they have another frame?

I would still jump on the other bike available at the moment even though it's not pink. Tell her I am glad she was not seriously hurt.

damn... good to hear she's okay...
grinds my gears when people in cars ****ing actually hit people...
I know people get attached to their bikes... but maybe you just try and sell her on the wonder of falling in love again with a new frame set..
surely there's gotta be something she has her eyes on... you can salvage the groupo and the wheels/tires yes? That's a good starting point if you can... just throw it all on a new frame...

Well, I've been away for a while, but here's an update:
Wife is doing ok, but continues to have lots of back and shoulder pain. Getting hit by a car sucks bad!
The lesson we both learned is to always make eye contact with drivers wherever possible. Never assume they are going to do the right thing. Better to slow down and be safe than to be sorry. This kind of thing can change your life forever!
On the hunt for a new frame:
BH found us a new frame in the warehouse, so we bought it. Built up the bike, and then took it to get my wife a fitting. And guess what? The frame was just a tad too large.
So now I have a great BH Cristal for sale.
Anyone interested, check out the for sale forum.
BTW, my wife settled on a new Colnago.
Be safe out there, everyone! And thanks for all the well-wishes and encouragement!
