The official BONDED BICYCLE thread !

My Vitus is a compulsory single speed unfortunately due to a stripped rear hanger.

Still a fantastic ride no matter how many gears.

One of mine - still waiting to be built
I also have a mongoose aly/carbon that I cant find any info on - I dont think it was built by them but just badged. Will get pics when it stops raining! Probably July!

Here's mine:

TBH mine is identical to Bontyfiend's but without forks and componants.

I'll build it soon, promise....

Some great lookin' bikes. Had an early 90s bonded allez bitd, sadly no pics.

Always a bit wary about bonded frames, rightly or wrongly. Anyone ever actually had one failed?

I was wary of mine at first it is 20 years old...

I jump it off and over curbs now with a tubular on the rear.

As we say here its sweet as bro.

I wonder if it's one of those things that everyone says happens all the time because it's common knowledge, but it's common knowledge because everyone says it?

I'm not sure that made sense! :?

Technically my Dyna Tech Ti failed, one of the shifter bosses fell off the down tube. It was a long ride home in 39-12 or 53-12!

Argos removed the other and fitted Cannondale style screw through the frame bosses for me. One day I am sure it wil whip one way and not come back, then it goes on a wall!

Surely there are a few more bonded bikes in the ownership of this fair sites membership?
