No doubt! You should definitely have stayed! It's their lack of signal or apparently even looking that caused the accident. Sorry to hear that shtuff. It's good that you're alright though.
F that, Chris you gotta stand your ground. They could have killed you and you should never leave the scene. That was a traffic accident, and i would have been trying to get them to pay for my bike...
oh man this sucks i got into a wreck with an suv i was goin about 30(flyin) up lasalle and this suv not signaling pulled out of a spot right in front of me. yesterday on my way to work. My favorite bike-frame broke not to mention i feel like shit now. i hate accidents cuz i never know where i am or whats going on so i never get info. I just ran away cuz they were trying to get me to pay for their door! they didnt signal and pulled out into on coming traffic!...just a rant
Hi Glenn, if you would like something custom or semi-custom or simply a fixie other than a typical off-the-shelf ride, I'd suggest Yojimbo's. My shop, which is a bit closer to you, alsospecializesinthisarea.
Hi again everyone. Thanks for all of your suggestions. Norm, I live in the South Side of Chicago (Beverly/Morgan Park area). I will make it a point to get to Mike's shop though, armed with a little info from Sheldon's site. Thanks again all.

Glenn where do you live. At Mikes Bike Shop in Palatine have five Different Fixxed gear Bikes in stock. Cannondale, Specialized, Two Different Bianchis and a Volume.
+1 on sheldon's site. Then get on CL and hunt down parts. (I'm assuming you do basic maintenance on your road bike, and aren't afraid of turning a wrench)
