[MENTION=28632]Road Fan[/MENTION] - Sorry to hear of you loss! Glad you are OK. I understand the mixed feelings. Once in awhile I reflect on my significant accident that took out my Le Champion and wonder if I should even ride some of the ones I have hanging for special rides. Then this issue of wearing out dwindling parts without the consequences of injury. Good thing I am over the hill of my life span!
