Crumbs. That's signiicant.

It sounds like it's been an eventful night.

At a guess, this being the Fridays, it was all the fault of the mudguard?

Crikey!

For those still in southend, the trains are getting pretty chokka by barking.

Clearly an oversized mudguard exerting sideways pressure on the frame.

 

[Pale Rider]

Pre-ride dried on dirt is to blame.

Blimey!
Looks a very clean break, almost like it's been done with a hacksaw.

No cyclists were hurt in the making of this photo. I'd just got to the top of the hill into town, gave it a bit more welly and bang. @tiermat I think it's dead. I suppose a refund is out of the question.

What was it before it let go?
