...the tricked-out details on the Pina are not lost on me, sir. Although I am a Colnago guy, bravo to you on this fine steed.
I don't have it anymore, but I was able to get it to 12.5 lbs.
I love the clamp.
Remember, it’s the Indian, not the arrow. But those are some damn fine looking arrows!
I'm partial to Orbea. Current stable: 2023 Orbea OIZ OMX, 2020 Oiz, 2017 Occam, 2022 Oiz, 2022 Rise, 2022 Oiz 27.5, Mrazek Boh Custom. Old flames Intense Spider carbon, Ellsworth. I still have my first bicycle Schwinn Stingray

...I wish I had my Stingray! I would be the old guy riding the '68 blue Stingray to the coffee shop.
We used to drag race them side-by-side on the back streets. I put a parachute on I could pop with a string. It was awesome.

I crashed spectacularly on ice today, twice.
The last trying to descend the 14% average section on paved backside of a sledding hill. Boy did I get some looks from dog walkers at the bottom.

...did you "lose" the front wheel, Brother Rando? That is a hard way to go, I think. A patch of ice, invisible due to a little snow...and then, a tiny bit less than perfectly straight and tranquilo, and...body slam.
I am not riding outside these days, although some ice is gone and it's supposed to warm up today. Have been on the trainer, just three weeks out from a little arthroscopic tune-up. Look at some of the crap they took out of my "good" knee. No wonder it was killing me. Keep it smooth out there...

As the saying goes, there are 2 types of cyclists; those that have crashed and those that will.
Doubt I would be recounting this type of experience if it had gone badly. These were more in line with a healthy shock of being deposited on the ground. Release of tensions built up in joints etc. as opposed to harmful injury.
Laughably, I did think of @christoph finding the safe bounds of jumping his e-mtb while typing that. Avoiding the doctor while staying highly entertained can certainly be done.

Elevated ice slick surface you are going a zillion miles an hour on while staying static. I'm perfectly capable of crashing on them as well.
...oh man, I used to keep a set of rollers in my truck when I was "repping" for C'dale long ago. I almost went through the TV set in a St. Louis Hampton Inn room when I let my attention wane and came off the rollers at 25 mph. Highly stimulating! Not recommended. Stick to the ice!
