+1. I've got some parts that have been sitting around in perfect condition that would be better in Sub's hands than on Craigslist. List includes derailers (front and rear), cassettes, seatposts, stems, a handbar or two i think...

No broken bones = very good. I'm in for some parts when you're ready.

Glad you're not badly hurt subby. Sorry about the bike... Tough times to take that financial hit.

Wow, sorry to hear about your crash. It sounds like you were fortunate to not be in the hospital though. Heal quick.

I often wonder why I got back into riding after almost dying in a crash. Looking at all these responses gives me every answer I need.
The racing community is incredible.
I'm going to give a huge +1 to subby's thanks. You guys rock!

Thats amazing that you were able to come out ok when you literally had 4 or 5 bikes running you over at last lap speeds. You're one tough guy sub.
Best of luck on returning to the peleton as soon as possible.

Sounds scary Sub. I'm glad all your bones are in one piece. Take your time recovering. There will still be plenty of races when you are ready.

Sorry, man. Hopefully they can put your bike back together for you. Good luck and feel better.

Hope it works out man. That's a *****.
Still pretty badass that you shattered a bike with your back. That will make a good story someday.

Holy crap. The most important thing is it sounds like you're going to be OK.
Let me know about the paypal/parts fund. I'll be away from this place for a week and a half starting next Thursday, but I'm good for it. I've been thinking of moving to SRAM anyway, so there may be some spare ultegra sl parts kicking around that I can ship up there.

wow - I was involved in one of these last season and I was the last one into the bunch and I ended up giving emergency care to the guy at the bottom of the pile till the ambulance got there...
I'm really thankful to hear that you could walk away.
Yeah - put up a list with the bits you have/need... I just downsized the fleet and I would absolutely ship you some some parts. The way you have bounced back from previous issues has been a big inspiration to me.

I'm glad you're relatively ok. That makes me glad.
...Dude you broke bikes with your body: A badass way to prove your competency in HTFU, and your fluency in tough as nails.
A+ for surviving.
Heal up quick.
Don't worry, like others have said: I'm sure your teammates are thrilled & relieved that you walked away.

Im so sorry about your crash..
you've been carrying the world on your back for so long, guess that helped make it strong enough that you came out ok
I have been cleaning up my stuff too to sell a few items, but instead I would be glad to help you with some parts if you needed some.
heal fast!

keep your chin up, sometimes s just happens. I crashed 4x in 3 weeks last may/early June including one where I got run over by several bikes. in hindsight, it was kind of funny because as I was laying on the ground i'd get hit in the back then watch the guy catapult over me like it was in slow motion, then hear him it the ground - the sound was unforgettable.
give yourself time to heal, things will come good. if nothing materializes with bike stuff, maybe you should enter some ultimate cage fighting events: I can see the commercial in my mind right now, "next on VS, man v. bike"

Thanks everyone. Ya'll are great people. I'm doing real good right now. I'm able to move around and do whatever. Just the road rash is hurting right now.
I'll know more about the bike tomorrow.
