I survived a head-on accident with a car yesterday. My trusted bike - a 2012 Specialized Ruby Comp Compact - which I got off Craigslist and have ridden hundreds of blissful miles on - decided to save my life and absorb the brunt of the damage in one last act of love. My bicycle is my most essential transportation and even more than that it's a grounding part of my existence. I'm starting a fundraiser to either replace the frame or else get a replacement bicycle.

There's a crack near the bottom of the top tube on the CF frame - an area that is critical for load-bearing and can catastrophically fail.

I'm pretty banged-up and part of the healing process is getting either a new frame or a replacement bike.

Found this bike which would be a good replacement and is almost identical:
