But hey, that's him.
I went to the shop yesterday to pick up my new bike. We started talking about this Colnago. I asked how much it was. He said around 11 grand. Then. THEN!!!!!!
he said the guy laid it down a couple days ago booking into a corner. A car was coming and he Conan'd the brakes, bounced his read tire, and bit it hard. He broke his collarbone and scuffed his ride pretty bad. The guy had it all of two weeks.
Man that sux, bad.
