this is no celebration of brokenness, it's a pronouncement that you've gone mad, sir. mad!
you've got a perfectly good red merckx in the stable. riding a clunker of questionable integrity vs. that....why?

I felt such a strong sense of remorse and shame thinking about that, it was very emotional....
and then, I got back to my car. The minute I stopped pedaling and got off the bike (the broken french carbon one, mind you), all the euphoria and endorphin subsided almost immediately, I was rudely awakened back to reality -- oh...crap! All these broken bikes....who is going to take care of them if I just throw them out in the streets. Today is the last "nice weather" day, they are forecasting snow on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, imagine these poor bikes sitting out there exposed to the cold and the wet - Oh no! That won't do. It's too inhumane. I guess I will just keep them a bit longer....    |

To prevent your other bikes from catching potentially fatal diseases, you should send me all the non damaged bikes in your stable so they don't catch the diseases your other bikes are afflicted with. I'll send you a roll of fiber fix and duct tape as a good faith deposit. I will also install proper Campy groups on all of them so your parts don't see any wear.
