Hope you heal up well. Getting hurt sucks at once you're 'of a certain age'. I twisted my ankle in mid November and it's still bugging me...

Also, please let us know about the damage to the frame. Whenever I see plates used in a rear end, I silently say 'hmmmm' to myself. I always wonder how they compare to tubes for stiffness/ride as well as durability and crash resistance. Not that we should be building bikes to withstand the apocalypse but people do crash so it should be factored in. Did it bend at the cut-outs in the chainstays and the plate in the seatstays or did the tubes bend not at those joints or did it bend at the BB shell? Any of that info would be interesting indeed.

Advil, ice and rest!!
