Sounds to me like an accident cyclists have been having since bicycles were first invented. In fact, many years ago I had an accident very similar to that riding a steel bike. Broken collar bone, no broken ribs. Sometimes bad things happen when you are JRA. I'm no lover of carbon, but I can't see how you could blame this on the frame material. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
