As per title really, the lad experienced a rite of passage a couple of days ago & had his first frame failure. Very strange location for a crack too. Shame as he really enjoyed the light whippiness of the Palisades Trail frameset, and it's 1 1/8 so I can't even rob the fork for my Palisades
Anyone had a steel frame crack in this manner, slap in the middle of a tube with no bosses/other stress risers contributing? Will split it open fully and have a look but the frame doesn't give the impression of having lived outdoors or by the coast so not expecting rot, it was a clean frameset albeit having some miles judging by the worn out original rims recently swapped.
