Yes,
this is the infamous bike that slid sideways
at 35mph; because, for no apparent reason, a branch the size of your
wrist laid at a 45 degree angle in the middle of Angle Road.
But
don't worry, the bike (i.e., frame and current
components) did not absorb the slide. I did. So did the handlebars,
right shifter and rear derailleur. And my pocket book, as I shelled out
big $$ to make it better than before - new handlebars, barely used set
of *Force* shifters, and a brand-new Rival rear derailleur.
More
importantly, the bike comes with:
1) the original - never ridden -
Ksyrium Elite wheelset;
2) never ridden premium Sram rear cassette;
and,
3) a brand new hollow Dura Ace Chain.
Throw
in new cables and brand-spankin' new fi'zi:k bar-tape (that you will
never have to replace, as it literally wipes clean with a light soap),
this bike is essentially brand-new.
I rode it for less than a
year - the last half of last summer, off last fall, and some winter riding
- that's it. For those who don't know, I was
planning to sell this bike *long* before I crashed on it. It was too
big from the get-go, and I procrastinated building my new 54cm! I will
never procrastinate again!
The frame has been inspected by the
kind folks at Bike Works. It is true and damage-free. One of the below
pics show some scratches on the upper-right seat-stay. I seriously
doubt they were the result of the crash - as my seat and my fat rump
extend(ed) well beyond it. But regardless, the scratches exist and I
took the best pics I could. I'm pretty certain that they are the result
of storage on my bike rack.
These scratches are the only defects I
have found on the bike.
