New frame on the way

I just talked to BBC head cheese Phil Sanders about my cracked frame.    In all his years, he's never seen a frame fail like that (I might add that this isn't the first time he's said that about something I've broken).

Phil also informed me that Giant and Bike N' Hike came through, and new frame is on the way. 

Giant even requested the broken frame be shipped for examination, because I don't think they've ever seen one break like that. [edit] of course they have, what am I thinking...

So far this 'cross season, I've broken a frame, fork, and stem.  Hopefully, that's enough for one season.

With luck, I'll have my good bike back for Hillsboro!

My old Masi SLX broke just like that. It is definitely from comin' in too hot on too many occasions.

Erik, hope that new frame gets here in time. Hillsboro has been a good course for you.

Are the results correct for you from Estacada? I thought you were right on my tail? I kept seeing green back there expecting it to come and get me.

Yeah, I hope so too!

Nah, the results were wrong. They missed my third lap and had me a lap down. I think they'll fix it, but it doesn't really matter I guess.

Erik- you're just too strong.

No way, just unlucky.

Any idea what the new frame will look like? I hope it is orange with a purple fork.
