When it's a cruet 🙂 Not mine, but a stunning piece of 'on hill repurposing' from my mate earlier today. Amazingly he was unhurt in the process. The saddle however i feel is beyond 'buffing out'

Probably lucky the Reverb was down during that impact!

(or it might be a Reverbanana 😉

Reverbanana is genius 🙂 Yeah we were a bit surprised it hadn't damaged anything else. Except for my mate's pride as he was bundled off in front of three other MTBrs !

Looks like the impact put a fugly bend in the top tube.

I know everyones saddle is a matter of taste and fit...but that is particularly unique. Hope my scoop fares a bit better!

And I was worried about the strength of my dropper in a crash, now I shall ride around worrying about my Spoon instead. 😀

I need it for eating lunch…

My charge spoon looked a bit similar after an off , bent it back by hand (it appears to be made from cheese)

This thread would've been better with a video.

Looks like he bent the top tube of the bike too.

Edit

Beaten to it
