NEWSFLASH! Chainrings are sharp!

Okay, as a testament to the kind of ‘end of year’ time I’m having, I wrote a post about my recent stack, only to have it not save.  So lucky you, you get a paraphrased version -

  • Building too many frames/bikes in too short a timeframe with too many distractions
  • Warwick does not notice pedal has somehow worked itself loose on customers bike
  • Warwick takes test ride on said bike, has altercation with chainring [see picture]
  • Spends FOUR HOURS bleeding in the waiting room of the Royal Melbourne
  • Customer’s bike somehow gets away unscathed, probably due to me taking time out between noticing something is going wrong, saying ‘wtf’ in slow mo, before hitting the ground and doing a very tricky ‘keep bike off ground at all costs’ tuck-and-roll.

Only a true professional can be that smart and that stupid all at the same time.

Happy New Year!
