Some of you may remember my thread on my 1935 Raleigh Sports:



Now, fast forward to this past May and this happened:



You can guess the story: got my finger too close to the chain and it was mangled by the rear mech. Not a happy event, and the finger is still pretty useless. Anyway, I've not been able to look on the Sports the same ever since. Yes, I know it was my fault, but rationality isn't always possible. I find myself no longer enjoying the ride, and any maintenance is tinged with a bit of recurrent shock, if that makes any sense.

So, have you ever fallen out of love with a bike, how come, and what did you do about it? Seriously considering moving this on, as hard as that may seem!
