pics will be available on saturday.
first off - to put story straight
zaskar and genesis that was on rack, anthem left at gazmacs for servicing.
acdc (shoot to thrill) on stereo.
phone wife to say not be long then hears grinding noise.
looks in mirror still see's bike silhouete through grime and rain so all good.
pulled in at mikees work thinking must be sumthin under car.
only to find genesis on its arse with a neat 410mm width assymetric carbon bar neatly shaved to a fine point and a retro looking brake cylinder (still smouldering) with no lever.
other damage, arse area of seat worn down to seat post, gold hope seat clamp missing lever and me new cheapo led light atomised off bars.
cue the simon mayo confessions theme tune...
its one of those situations where you either cry or laugh. So i basically stood and swore my face off for 10mins then started pmsl. phoned gazzmac to try to shift some blame on to him.
funniest bit is the wee roundabout into mikees work is quite tight and i must've nearly took out a pedestrian wi the tail swing from the genesis.
luckily i had wheels strapped in and security bike chain or the bike might have been strewn across the carriageway of the A92!!!
still some late night CRC therapy has cured my ails and gives sumthin to do this sat.
sorry missed meeting you guys, but at next meet i will have a neat easton monkeylite xc 410mm assymetric bar goin for £15 posted (paypal gift preferred). Great for all you one handed cyclists.
cheers
keith (aka shed).
