A couple days back I was in a bike accident where I got banged up with tons of trail rash and my child on a trail-a-bike got away with a couple bumps (whew). But my bike now looks like this:
Now the tech at our LBS says that obviously the fork is toast but since this has a lugged frame there may be hidden damage inside the lugs, and I think I may be seeing some separation, that makes it unsafe to ride.
I was wondering before I take it in for a 2nd opinion do they have a reasonable assessment for what could be going on here? I know the fork is dead but the rest of the frame makes me wonder.
