Why is it even a question? Pull any usable parts, trash the frame, get something better. If the manufacturer will give you a discount on a replacement frame, cool.

I want to know if you survived the failure with no missing skin. Just how did this go down?

Not even a scratch. Got lucky since I'd barely started to roll at an intersection.

Wow, pretty rough one there. Good excuse to upgrade, 10 years out of a bike is a pretty good investment of a ride.
