Ended a fab week in Dartmoor last week by doing a spontaneous aerial dismount, resulting in the Trance clattering down on some rocks all by itself. Only minor bruises etc for me, but the poor Trance now has a big dent in the seatstay:
The seatstay is still straight, but there is some distortion on the top of the section.
Consensus of people I’ve spoken to so far is that it will *probably* be ok, but thought I’d just get a few more opinions on here.
If I should choose to replace the back end, does anyone know someone with a spare rear triangle from an 08 Trance (not Trance X) knocking around… A long shot I know, but I guess getting the part from Giant will be pricey…
Ta for the help!
