Christ! I hope you're getting better, now...?
Thanks Doug.
Because he admitted guilt at the scene, it was a fixed penalty Careless Driving ... didn't go to court.
Although, as an octogenarian, he might find getting insurance a bit harder.
May your recovery be speedy, and the fear leave you soon.
SuperCaz have matched the shade perfectly though.
Looks great whilst still clean.
Most of it has healed without further issue ... but the knee is the problem.
I've limited walking ability - gradients hurt, and I live at the top of a hill - and I've got about 20 - 25 miles of cycling before my knee gets too painful.
I'm a club cyclist (which is great as since the accident my solo confidence is shot), and I don't have the distance for a club ride.
I'm not letting this beat me though... LBS has a Paralane E2 e-road bike coming in soon to test - and I'm looking forwards to it
Thanks, the Corona virus might delay the surgery, I'd imagine I won't be out until next year. The metal problem may be leaving the brakes alone if a see a car facing me with it's indicator on to turn across me.
Sorry to read about your crash.
Yesterday I bumped into a clubmate in his 70s who is recovering from a serious illness and can't ride his bike for long or keep up with a group any more. He looked at the Ribble e-bike but decided to buy a Paralane2 from the LBS (red, 105 groupset) and is very impressed. He said it feels not so different from his Trek Madone. Hope you enjoy it.
Thank you Simon.
I was looking at the Orbea Gain and the Ribble, but discounted them as you can't remove the battery for charging.
I've no power or heat in the bike store, and concerned over battery life being reduced by the cold.
Although ... if I can't get the funds for the Paralane, the missus might have to lump a Ribble in the hallway
Wishing you well.
I was thinking of electric. Both Avanti blades have bottle screw holes on seat tube and both above and below angle beam of frame.
Eg a low mount of battery if converted. Pictured bike is hub gearbox and front guard isn't installed, hasn't been washed since last year and is ridden during storms.
I was thinking of whatever that crank drive unit is, comes as single wheel or double chain wheel.
Quality bikes. They sell cheap used down here. Add $1000Aus to assist torque electrically.
Just in case such suits you with something to do during recovery.
I changed my mind.. Happy without. Although the double chainwheel will probably go back to a triple when I can be bothered. The parts I have should work.

Awefull ! Hope you make a full recovery.
All the best
Your tale brings it all back. Can I ask did the car turn right from a side road, or was he facing you and turned into the side road. Mine was the latter.
I'm coming round to this way of thinking - my leisure riding is less frequent than I'd like now, but I ride to work at least 4 days a week, so maybe I should upgrade my commuter. That said, there's a certain satisfaction in having a decent, relatively cheap, low maintenance bike that I can neglect without feeling too guilty (Genesis Day One Disc).
This looks much similar to the $600 Electric bike on Geekwake .
Ow that is a shame , to be hounest i have a set of the same wheels..
Not the best i've owned im affraid.
Hope they work better for you !

Hello all,
Long time no posting here. Sorry.
I've recently bought a Vitus 979 road bike. I'm in awe of the beauty of its design but need help getting her uo and running at full chat.
I'm looking to completed the Suntour Cyclone 7000 set buy tracking down 7000 brakes and pedals. I've bought a nice torquise leather saddle and will accent the bar tape etc to match.
I'll retain the Ambrosio 19 rims but may change the hubs to Suntour 7000 if I can find them.
Advice on tracking down the Suntour kit welcomed. Relying on eBay atm and most of the nice Suntour kit is in the US it seems.....

Hi All
Thought you might like to have a look at my brand new, made to measure hand built steel road bike by Argos Cycles of Bristol using Reynolds oversized 853 tubing, flam red with silver graphics, through axles and handbuilt bombproof 32 spoke wheels.
Designed to be ridden hard year round in all conditions it's taken 8 months to get it and if there is interest I will put a more thorough build article up on the forum.

New to the forum.
After getting into biking around 12-18 months ago, I initailly purchased a second hand Specialized Allez to see if it was something i would enjoy/get into, just over a month or so ago I upgraded to this beaut:
My Specialized Tarmac Expert Disc

1995 Pine Mountain MTB converted to tourer. Triple butted Tange Prestige tubeset.
Really lovely ride quality.

New Condor Fratello with own built wheels and shimano 105 (mix of r7000 and 5800). Lovely smooth ride!

The ‘Wobble bike’.
Genesis CdF converted to single speed (48x18). Useless mechanical disc brakes swapped out for deep drop tektros.
For family outings, commutes and one day shopping duties with panniers or perhaps a trailer.
