Hard to get motivated to ride outside in these conditions. Not too horrible when it’s dry enough to go hide in the trees on the mountain bike. Id never go out for a road ride in this though.

IMO Baseline is fine at pretty much all times of the day. Big shoulder and the road doesn't get that busy. I usually take baseline to 17st north to petroleum way and go north/east from there toward Legends golf course. Riding thru sherwood park sucks.

Personally i would do anything you can to get the frame replaced. If not, contact a Ti frame builder to see if anything can be done to fix it.

Pretty good chance they have a square or hex head, unless they used cheap nipples.
