He's dead Jim
I am in mourning. Yesterday, as I prepared to tap the threads on the BB of my Miyata I noticed what I thought were small cracks in the paint around the internal cable routing on the Top tube. Upon closer inspection I found that it was not the paint but the actual tube that was cracked. Four little cracks radiating out from the routing hole...
I have spent a lot of time finagling housing through these holes. I thought that I would have noticed before now, just when I was upgrading to 9-speed. I took the news stoically. But inside I've been all torn up. This was my main ride, my baby.
I am sad and I needed to get it off my chest.
Thanks.
