Dead Bike

May 12, 2006 15:29

My bike broke today. The bars were crooked while I was riding back from Kaiju (I got an internship there building models) and so when I got home, I tried to straighten them out I thought it was strange that the were crooked because I thought they were stuck. Turns out, they weren't the crooked part, the fork (the two arms that hold the front wheel) was the crooked part. After pulling the bars back I realized this fact and gave it another jiggle and one of the fork arms came off.

I could replace the fork, but the frame is probably in just as bad shape because it's the original fork so it's and indicator of the fame's condition.

I guess I won't be taking my time building up that spicer frame.
