It was decided to meet up outside Sibylla at Hillängen but I got no answer on my message, decided to go past Sibylla anyway, but no Linkenn in sight, continued towards Sörvik where it was planned to bike.
On the way there I almost got run over by an old Volvo 142, turned out to be him, he was late from work! Well, after a while we were ready to go, took the bike lane to Sörvik and then up towards Gussjöstugan on the forest roads.


All looked fine, then I noticed the rear wheel seemed loose and he started to check the quick release, that too was OK. After rocking the rear wheel with the hand there was a strange noise and it was obvious that the frame was broken! (Sorry about the crappy photo!)

We had managed to go some 10km from the parking lot and we now had to go back with a broken bike, it was impossible to sit on the bike and ride it back. Took it's while to get back to the car.
Noticed this old truck on the way back to the parking lot, had to take a shot, at some point it had been converted to a tractor with rigid rear axle.


Not far from home I thought it was better to go home than start to stop the bleeding.

Hope you find a new frame before Cykelvasan Erik!
