Oooh I'm sorry to hear that mate. Mucho sympathy.

Got any plans on replacement yet?

As someone relatively new to the scene, can I ask how one goes about snapping a frame in two? Serious question.

Is the frame covered on a warranty? I just assumed that they all are these day's


Horrid news and an equally horrid journey home by the sounds of it!

Hope you get it sorted quick.

Almost happened to me once. Fortunately caught it just before it failed completely:

I did it on my brother's bmx in 1983. I was sozzled at the time and had to walk a mile with the two parts of the remaining bike to get home.

Completely genuine.

Didn't look that bad until I took the wheel out of the frame. Then I got scared, but in a relief type way.

Had to find a replacement very quickly, as I was training for a cycle-to-work stunt - 32 mile commute. Didn't repeat it - took too long. (And too tiring..)
