I Have a Technium that has a date with my hacksaw.

A350 as one example with its carbon wings & fuselage

Didn't watch the whole video (I'm one of the lazy ones) but it looked very minty, had it had a re-spray / powder coat? If so that could have been a contributing factor? Who knows what magic mix Raleigh stuck them together with.

Can't you leave it somewhere for a scrote to nick !

It had been resprayed, I did wonder if that could contribute. It wasn’t clear if it had been baked. Is there anything you can do to check these bonded joints or safeguard them?

Just a frame, get done for fly tipping.

To test simply ride them over railway crossings at speed on 23c tyres at 150psi

As for safeguarding, keep away from solvents / exciting chemicals and high temperatures would likely be sensible precautions if I had to hazard a guess.

Presumably, with the right prep and adhesive it could be ridden again although I can completely understand why the chap wouldn't want to go near it again!

Thanks for sharing that video. I love this chap's manner and enthusiasm.
I've known a few people have dynatech frame failures without any baking etc, so i think it is probably an age/QC issue.
The only frame i ever had fail horrendously was a terrible old lugged raleigh where the head tube parted company with the rest of the frame when i was riding. Not so much fun. So maybe more of a general QC issue back in the not so good old days.
