|  Nervous Breakdown= Bike dissection..I have had it | tankhead10 Apr 12, 2003 5:55 PM | | Today, after not really riding for a week after my first race. I went for a ride on the mountain bike. I had plans to meet my friends on the road but decided to get on the mountain bike and check to make sure everything is ok after the post race clean up. I unloaded the bike and immediately noticed creaking, creaking remanisant of three weeks ago which I thought I took care of. Three or four minutes into the ride my lower back started to feel that pain like I had been riding for too long. I started getting very pissed off. I then decided that I would have to really decide if this bike just does not fit me. I started riding really hard and the whole time I felt that I could move the seat back somewhat. Creak,crunch,I got so furious that I went back to the car and drove home. I took the cable cutters to all the cables, through out my chain and front derailleur, through out old tires that were in my garage, took the fork, cranks, bottom bracket, wheels, seatpost, saddle, rear derailleur, stem and bars off of the frame and hung everything on the wall. I will be taking a hiatus from the sport that I once loved more than anything. I HAVE HAD IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!I will be talking to Chris from Titus next week and hopefully Charles from Hammerhead and hopefully I will be on the road to having a fu#king bike that fits me. MOTHER FOCKER am I mad. |

|  Ah ha, here are some better ways to use the word "threw" | tankhead10 Apr 14, 2003 3:06 AM | | Like I threw your mom my hard piston and shot it in her mouth. Or maybe..... I found out who you were and threw a brick to your head. Of course I am just joking.....Lighten up Jack Ass. |
