A slight design flaw in the Scott Spark:

Had a slight rear mech / spoke interface in Finale Italy and the mech hanger snapped in the wrong place:

Leaving the frame looking a bit worse for wear:

Had to single speed it for the rest of the day, then get a hire bike for the rest of the holiday.

Luckily, Scott sell spare chain stays, so I’ve just fixed it all:

Most expensive replacement mech hanger I’ve come across – £250 for the replacement hanger with accompanying chain stays!
