yep, was the oldie.
I wouldn't use a saw on a frame in order to claim that it broke.

You've got it backward: I break stuff so that I don't have to admit I wanted to take a saw to it.

I have a real bad feeling that I may have torn the acl in my right knee.

i need an IS adapter for the fork for my new bike, anyone have one they want to send my way or can point me to something? Will check the LBS tomorrow. I have seen tons of them online but all descriptions seem vague not sure which one is right. 160mm rotors. also sliced the tip of my finger off messing with the rear disc haha.

Let me scratch around at home. I think all mine are 8" but I'll doublecheck. PM me if you haven't heard from me tonight.

Well, nothing is torn, but I nearly got admitted to the hospital today with a big blood clot in my right leg.

Dang! At least half the news was good. Hope they get the clot cleared up quickly.

Nah, my elbow's are in one piece. I had actually spent a week in the hospital for that bloodclot and still am not back up and going. On warfarin for the rest of my life.

No. One was the fisher which shouldn't have broken where it did. The other was the 930, which was a brazing issue which has been repaired.
I'll be leaving you guys alone now. The risk is not worth it anymore for me, with the blood thinners a minor concussion could kill me.
