I had my bike stolen but was fortunate enough to recover it. Dropped it yesterday on the cement-- it fell over. Had this nasty gash in the rattlecan paintjob and im thinking about getting another frame or painting this one and then i think, why?

Screw it, ride it til it drops, breaks, or is stolen, then get another.

So the point is, get another frame. Have u looked at the surley steamroller? i believe u can get a frame/fork for about 350 bones if you look around.
