Here I was reading through this thread feeling all bad about your broken bike. A couple years ago my oldest son received an awesome Allez to race on. His mom and I had to really scrimp to buy it for him. Less than 3 months into the season he gets crashed in a crit and his chainstay broke. So you might say I know how it feels to lose a bike due to a crash. His crash replacement frame cost more than a custom fork for your bike by the way. Then as I'm reading through this thread I read where #Murry Missle offered you sage professional advice coming from his background in failure analysis which you resoundingly rejected. Then you even admit the fork is "toast". you consulted an expert who told you to replace it and you did not. You were given advice to put a bolt through the brake mounting hole and yet none is in place in your final pic.

Then I get to the end and see, wait a minute when was this posted....last week. You were seemingly still debating not using it come Sunday before 1 PM and yet you choose to not just race it but take chances and race aggressively! WTF dude! Was it the crashing into me that caused the fork to get to where it is now or did that happen and cause you to crash into me. I seriously question your decision making skills. You endangered my bike, health and life by aggressively racing on a fork that an expert that had inspected it in person told you to replace. Honestly I hope you don't race as I think you are a danger to others. Not only that but the time stamps on your posts make it very clear you did nothing to repair the damage to the fork prior to slapping it back on the frame and rushing to the race. For the rest of the forum reading this our race started at 1:40 PM and Niloc was still thinking about it at 12:18 PM.
