LOL, funny you say that.....there is a reason why I dont have that bike anymore. I went down on it and I now have scars to prove it. The bike was totally unscathed in the accident. It was my fault....chain was worn and I was going all out on a flat....hit about 25-26mph and then it threw me over the bars. That was the last time I rode that bike. It had nothing to do with the steep headtube....but since the bike and I had bad blood at that point I figured I would sell it instead of letting it hang on the wall.
