Even steel Campy does not stand up to the abrasive power of asphalt when the weight of a pickup is applied from above. Btw, the rider walked away and rode the next day.
Really glad to hear that the rider of that is okay!
I'm okay with non-Campy if it is home made or fabricated from scratch. Due to the weight (remember, we are starting with a barge) I'm hesitant to go steel any place I can go alloy or titanium. Obviously a titanium brake adapter makes little sense if alloy can do the same thing. Course the whole point of this build is to not make any sense whatsoever, so there's that. I do actually have some aluminum bracket stuff that I am going to try to use first for a fabricated brake adapter but if it turns out to be a huge fail I'll definitely consider other options.
