Any clues as to the various injuries to the Little Black Bike: well obviously I don’t know, but I’m guessing that it’s made contact with a tree stump or hard ditch sometime and then probably gone over, landing on the bars and then the rear-end.
The repairs, such as they were, might have been done on a shoe-string; quite how it rode with the front wheel so far out of whack can’t have been good. But I can well imagine that the wobbling front end plus a very iffy rear wheel alignment
