I too amazingly crashed my Sam H. into a parked car! In my defense, it was 4ยบ and I was distracted by how miserable I was.
My fork was totally shot and I called up Keven at Rivendell and he set me up with a solid Taiwanese replacement fork for $100, as I recall. had to pay an additional $130 to get the raw fork painted by Waterford, but it seemed like a heck of a deal, especially if you could get it locally painted/powdercoated. - Mike On Wednesday, December 17, 2014 12:56:00 PM UTC-8, Anne Paulson wrote: > > My adult son has a Rambouillet.
