My old Fuji frame was run over by a Yukon burning out of a Wendy's parking lot in Salinas, California. The fork always creaked loudly after that when putting down power or out of the saddle, but I still stupidly rode it, even though I was fearful it was going to spontaneously combust.
So I bought a new frame for stupid cheap and just finished transferring parts:
The fork didn't give me a lot of confidence, so I took an old Cannondale fork, stripped it, and painted it to match. Stripping carbon fiber was a fun project.
May the full-sized SUVs stay far away from all of us in 2024
