Thanks! I hope I'm not too scared about riding after this, I'll definitely be more shy about drivers pulling out of driveways though. I'm off to the shop tomorrow to see what I can replace it with. If nothing catches my eye I'll probably end up building up something vintage again. Any suggestions for contemporary steel bikes with pretty lugs and relaxed geo under the 1000$ mark are welcomed (but unlikely)
