Frame failure experiences

[bikeworkshop]

Had a lavadome crack on the top tube about two inches away from the seatpost.

Frames can crack on the butt, often a couple of inches away from the weld joint.

hehe, butt.

overdrawn tubing tends to go at the thin edge, pretty common mode failure on cold drawn tubing.

i thought we established that i wish to exist in a bubble, a vacuum, another dimension where frames do not crack, snap or dent

thanks

woz made me buy titanium and if they don't last forever i am suing

Same, just last night somebody in the inn was trying to goad me into buying one too!
I was looking for a titanium Kona too for the last few months that would fit me but didn't find the right one.
