Oh, and of course... Steel is Real.
My alignment didn't change after every crash. (In fact I did quite well with all the UO-8 crashes (except a broken thumb that got set crooked but works well) until the final frame ending car door. My 2nd shoulder wreck. Now after that and four broken collarbones I an finally symmetrical again with roughly symmetrical mis-matches on both sides and roughly equal shoulder drop and width.
As I write this, I remembered the bike Team Dumpster, the sport 501 tubed Peugeot what was hit by an SUV under the previous owner. Fork trashed, top tube dented and both chainstays set tot the right and about to break off. I CF wrapped the BB and chainstays (old boat building skills) and rode it 8000 miles. That bike is now retired (before a catastrophic failure - had it been CF, it would have asploded from the SUV hit, not dented, bent and cracked).
