Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Best part is a comment on the post I found it in

Happy ending: Specialized sent me a new frame. Thanks Specialized! Ironic twist: they charged me for a new bolt...

Impressive even the seat stays were impacted, this is one of the main reasons I stick to steel frames mostly.
