The chain seized up and caused the rear derailleur to shear off
oh calamity!!!
there is a crack/tear around left of where the hanger is brazed on to the drop out
the color scheme is very similar to the 30th anniversary edition available currently.
I’m thinking of contacting the factory to plead and offer any organ
that I have two of to see if they can help me.
Apparently it has happened to a million road bikes
it’s happened to two of mine
ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Got it fixed, TIG welded
by an amazing stoke of good fortune, I manage to find one in the same size and color scheme about a
week after the tear, it’s a ’96 model, the tubes are a little wider,
and with lugging on the seat post insert, it feels stiffer to.
I’m cleaning up the weld area, and inserting a helicoil into
the old frameset, then it will enter into the stock list
E Voila!
I sold it and shipped it to Japan.
