Hi all, just following on from the "what have you sold and then wished you hadn't" thread. How about losing something bike based through being a complete muppet?
Back in 1995 I bought a lovely Orange Clockwork frameset and built it up using really nice components that I'd hunted down from here, there and everywhere. Just after it was finished I went out on it one night to visit a mate of mine, didn't intend to but got completely hammered. Next morning woke up to find I had a big ole bump on my head, went to get bike out of shed and it wasn there! Mustve fell off somewhere on the way home and god knows what happened after that but I had "lost" my pride and joy somewhere along the way. Retraced what I thought might be any number of routes I could've took home and never found it. :-( Somewhere in Cambridge there could be a Clockwork that's been hidden away in a bush for 14 years as it seemed a good idea at the time!
Anyone else done something daft that has ended up being expensive?

That's crazy, losing a bike on the way home!
