Blue pictured at the 2008 SiS was severely injured while on vacation in Germany, but will make a full recovery back in the States.Dave Blum, owner of the sweet babyblue 29er from SiS, dropped me a line. Seems he and his 29er took a tumble while riding here in Germany, and the 29er took the worse of it.
"On a sad note, during my last day in Germany (well, before the Lufthansa
strike trapped me here for an extra week), I had a rather nasty accident in
the Teutoberg Wald which resulted in a crushed/bent the TT of my IF.", sadi Dave in his email.
On the up side, Independent is working on the injured ride, and after replacing the toptube, "blue" is expected to make a full recovery and be ripping up single track in the near future.
Get well, our thoughts are with you!
PS. if that were a carbon or beer-can bike, it would be a total loss and in some landfill by now...
