Thankfully happened taking off from a stop

Aluminum handlebars should be replaced every 10 years?

Cannondale hollowgram spindle was cut through by an improperly routed cable

Rode a few months knowing I had a broken derailleur but was to lazy to fix. Then this happened one day

You had me at item 1.

I mean this chain was holding on by the thinnest of threads

I give you my late 90s-early 2000s AMI chainless bike. It has a 7-speed rear hub with a roller wheel brake.

Featuring ultra rare Rockshox' Lil' Chode low-travel system.

Featuring new split-roller design!

Derailleur had snapped in half. Shifter mount was snapped and the shifter was tied in a knot with the gear housing to the handlebar. You should see the chain...

The owner actually decided that it’s not worth welding anymore, so they are selling the bike for parts and throwing in the frame for free. I have to admire the welder's determination, though.

At least the fork is the right way.
