I think I know what I'll be getting for my mid-twenties crisis in the next few years, so far I'm thinking a Fox 32 F-series fork, and some pimpy XTR brakes and drivetrain.

This is in my attic right now. Less than 100mi on it. Won't see action for the rest of the year

If your worried at all about it not getting enough use in your attic i'll happily take it off u for a few month to make sure everything keeps turning as it should

You've attributed that quote to the wrong boards member. dave2pvd is over in the States. Good luck with the pick up.

@dave2pvd - hope you have a swift recovery if it is an injury which is preventing you from cycling that thing. If it's because you've got something sweeter to ride then I'll wish you a swift injury

Ouch! Hope you can still continue on with the day job. Where did the ligaments go?

That is a nasty crash. Get well soon.

They were attached to the outer extremity of the collar bone. 2 of them. That part became shrapnel.

I was out of work for a week. Did 20hrs the following week. Then 30, then 40, etc. Took a while to get right again. Took longer to get off the Percocet and Oxycontin.

Anyway, physical therapy beckons....

@ 5T3PH3N I've been hoping to see photos of that Grand Canyon AL of yours for a while. How are you finding it?

Have to say this ebay listing has left me speechless. Beautiful item, no doubt, but it really makes me question the acceptable levels of obsession with a bunch of steel tubes and a couple of wheels.
