Was out riding hard at night on a trail I thought I knew well. Turns out there's a curb I'd never noticed. Destroyed the bike, my helmet, bruised some ribs and my face, lots of road rash, and destroyed my hands. It will be missed.

gan well pro is now "gone" well pro. But great that you are still ok. you have a nice collection of bikes and all of them are beautiful..

Thanks! Yeah, I'm glad I'm ok too, it could've been a lot worse. My helmet probably saved my life, I probably wouldn't have been discovered until the next morning had I been knocked out.

damn, horrible. you crashed the frame, but your front wheelset didn't take much damage.
Posted almost 11 years ago
Yeah, the rim has quite the dent and the wheel is pretty out of true, but looks nothing like the frame. I still haven't taken it apart.

holy fuck, how fast were you going? Looks like your helmet really saved you from brain damage.
Posted about 11 years ago
Probably about 25 mph or so. And yeah, my helmet definitely saved me!

gnarly, that was a beautiful frame. Glad to hear you're (for the most part) alright!!!

Where did you get the cinelli stem from?
Posted over 11 years ago
It came on my Mash that I bought long ago. I sold the stem a few months ago.

Loving this. Did you bring this to the true crit?
Posted over 11 years ago
Nah I rode a GT Kinesis at the True Crit, though it had this fork on it! I rode this at the King of Colfax though!

i would love to go to work everyday if this is what i was riding ! What happened to your Omniums ?
Posted almost 12 years ago
They developed some side-to-side play after a few months. I double checked the bolts, took everything apart and put it back on, and had the same problem. So I switched over to some Sugino 75s.

Thanks! I miss that setup...hopefully do a similar setup with a yellow/blue fork once I fix my Elllipse and my back finally heals up.

cant wait!.. haha btw how does is running on 46-18? i thought it was too light?
Posted almost 12 years ago
I've had knee problems in the past, and Seattle is very hilly, so 46x18 is necessary for my knee health. I've learned to spin really fast, haha.

NJS frame?
Posted about 12 years ago
Yep, if you look close at the picture with the Columbus Genius sticker, you can see the stamp.
Posted about 12 years ago
It came with the original fork, but sadly it had been crashed and was bent beyond repair.
Posted about 12 years ago
I see you got yourself another keirin frame Coomer. I like its track setup.
Posted about 12 years ago
Thanks! And yep, got a great deal on this one. $300 for frame/two forks/Hatta headset/Hatta BB. :-)

What a toll...sorry to hear about the crash but im glad you're okay, I recently crashed by losing traction on a sharp turn, good thing I had a helmet and a long sleeve jacket, otherwish I'd be in worse shape
