I’ve had this frame for almost two years, but a bit over a year ago a friendly driver decided that I did not need my bike or legs and drove over them. The bike came out pretty well considering, stays were scratched and head tube was slightly off angle, cranks bent, rear rim bent, and bars, brake lever and saddle destroyed.
I gave her to the guy that built the frame originally (locky flint), and he corrected the head tube, and then it sat around in his shed while I thought about buying parts but never did. Eventually I found a nice track bike for a good price in which to strip parts off, and rebuilt it, and now she is just waiting till I can work out how the hell track racing works here.
Many thanks to locky for fixing the frame and building it in the first place, it’s amazing how strong a good steel frame can be, especially when faced with a 2 tonne 4wd (I wish my legs held up that well).
