REI is recalling 2005 Novara Trionfo bicycles after it received 2 reports of riders falling after forks separated. The fork can separate from the steerer tube which can cause the rider to lose control, posing a fall hazard. Injuries reported include a fractured clavicle, broken teeth, facial damage and head injuries.

This recall involves 2005 Novara Trionfo bicycles with Aprebic carbon fiber forks. The bicycles are blue and white with black forks, and have the name 'Novara' printed on the bars. The bicycles, made in Taiwan, were sold at REI retail stores nationwide from January 2005 through August 2006 for between $720 and $1,900.

Consumers have been advised to stop using the recalled bicycles and return them to a REI retail store a free repair.
