My fork broke!
How the hell does that happen.
I live about a mile away from work and I was coming back from lunch at home, and when I turned on to my building's street, my steering felt all loose. Got off and looked for the problem and noticed the left prong of the fork was broken clean off, about a half an inch above the wheel mounts. Frame on this bike is pretty beat, and kinda small (old 80's fuji road bike) so its no big loss. Guess I'm in the market for a new frame... |
Nice way to justify dropping some coin on a new ride...
Well done. |
damn, homie. i'm glad it didn't snap in any kinda bad traffic spot. there's nothin' wrong with being in the market for a new frame though, even if its only the fork that's busted.
good luck getting up and riding again soon! |

I'm just trying to figure out:
Was it a car or a cat i saw? |
Every old Fuji road bike I've seen had a flat-crowned Tange fork, which should be incredibly easy to find and replace, although possibly not worth the expense.
|
I once cracked a fork when I ran head first into a
Golden rod adorned log |
**** that ****, ride it!
Ever heard of the Cannondale Leftie? |

I once banged up an old pickup truck, but upon further reflectance I said to myself
"Hell, it's a Toyota still, eh? " |
Nice find! |
eh.
sit on a potato pan, Otis. |
Nashbar had some unpainted forks for like $8 on their clearance page a week ago. I think they were threaded forks. Get one of those & a can of Krylon...
|
i have nothing to say about the fork but damn. Do you really live in morristown?
|
I saw this happen once and the guy got off the bike and said:
"Named undenominationally rebel, I rile Beryl? La, No! I tan. I'm, O Ned, nude, man!" I'll never forget that day. |
