am i the first???
 

alright, who's already crashed their new IRO? *raises hand*

a corolla pulled out in front of me and i smacked into their back fender, flipped over the bars, i hit the ground, bike lands on top of me, bag-filled-with-u-lock hits me in the head (ouch). luckily no real damage to speak of (me or my bike)... bent my bars a little and got a small scratch where the seatstay meets the track ends, the pedals were really the only part to get some real scratches, and they are already in so-so shape.

anyone else already have a run-in with their new baby?

your seat-stays meet the fork ends? sounds like the wreck might have been worse than you thought... ;)

oops! fixed now

One thing... do you have a front brake?

glad you're alright!


ride safe!

yeah i have a brake, but every once in a blue moon something happens and it's still too close... i definately slowed down before i hit the car, luckily.

You were right the first time: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/gloss_e-f.html

^ i thought so!

i was actually wondering when people were gonna start making threads about wrecked iros when i was at work tonight.

Fork ends and fork dropouts

You're good.

wearyourtruth for the win!

I'm glad you & the bike are ok.
