Tight Clearance
Really tight. So tight I can only turn left.
I got hit by a car (wear a helmet!). So now my beater's gone... How long does it take to get a Jonny made, again?

I find it really interesting that the wheel seems perfectly fine.

Looks very similar to what happened to me ! Strangely enough, my wheel was fine too 'cos I was trying to turn right when I hit the car... Are you ok? Was it just the bike that got forked?

just got back from a local race here. same exact thing happened to one of our riders. and i also thought it was crazy that his wheel seems prefectly true... odd.
also the driver that hit him offered to buy him a new fork and stuff. did the person that hit you seem cool with fronting your bill?

Thanks everybody. Now I just need to think about a reasonable replacement for this. Maybe a Mark V. I'm going to get it to the LBS for an estimate, so I guess I'll see what happens.
Yep!
That's just about right.

I hit a car a few weeks ago and took the same damage. I had to flip around the handlebars and the wheel so that the wheel fit and I could ride it home. I thought it very strange that my radial front wheel took no damage at all while the fork and frame were dead.
