End of the S Works

My brother called me the other day to ask about his wifes bike. It is a standard Specialized alum S works. Really nice bike back in the day. I had him bring it in and he showed me the damage. Looks like someone dropped something heavy onto it and cracked the frame. At first I thought it might just be a dent but when I pushed on it I could feel some movement. Check the pic below.Well I felt bad because she is one who actually really rides a lot. She has been riding for a lot longer than I have. So I called in some solid favors and was able to get her a new frame. (Still pretty spendy drop). Below is the transformation from one bike to the next. Really is no comparison. We got a Jamis womens specific Comp frame. Now that is a bike is a sweet ride. I transfered it all over and away we went to drop it off.

It was like Christmas in March for her. She is not one to jump up and down and get real excited but when she came out to take a look at her new steed she was almost speechless. Smiling ear to ear and just totally excited. It was worth the trouble to do it just to see someone that excited.


I had to laugh when heard her say that the red decals on the wheels do not match the bike. Not that she really cared but just had to say it.
