Bummer!
I knew it was going to happen sooner or later I just wish it would have been later. I went for a nice 25 miler earlier today on my newly acquired De Rosa.
Anyhow I get home and start wiping the bike down to get the road grime off. I turn around while walking over to my work bench to see my Pogliaghi track bike falling over, yep it hits the De Rosa's top tube and leaves a nice tiny little dent and chips off some of the paint on the De Rosa. No sign of any damage to the Pogliaghi at all but now whenever I ride the De Rosa I'm going to see that nice little dent and paint chip that could have been prevented.

Don't worry, it just adds "character" to the bike..........my dad would have said...
Maybe your Pogliaghi was just jealous of your new "mistress"??

Hmm. Well, I never, ever, wipe off road grime; and this has never happened to me. Do the math!
