Hello,
I bought bloaker's beautiful Somec 80's bike two weeks ago but on the way home today I turned a corner near house and crashed into a wall. Aside from my head hurting, I'm fine but the result is that the down tube and seat tubes have a dent in them near where they meet the seat tube and my front wheel won't fit into the fork.
Here is a picture:
At the moment, I'm trying to keep calm but I'm so angry and annoyed at myself for not being more careful; I can't believe I crashed so close to home. I'm weighing up my options but it looks like I can either buy a new frame or repair this one. Eitherway, I'm in way over my head considering I don't even know how to build a bike nor can I afford one for awhile....
If anyone has any advice or knows where to get steel frames repaired and the cost, please let me know. Thanks.
