Well here she is...my new steed!:bgwg:

Thanks to a great sponsorship (TriSports.com)my wallet is far less lighter than it could of been (though it is still quite a bit lighter).
The old bike only sustained frame damage. All the components appear to be unscathed. I will be selling the old bikes components to offset the new bike (I still need to get race wheels).
As far as preventing it from happening again...two things:
1. I am going to hang the old frame in view in the garage so that I will see it and remember what could happen
2. I will try to incorprate a reciever hitch into the new bumpers so I can use a hitch mount carrier.
