Yes thank you. It happened a while back. No harm to me.
My road bike is 31.8 top tube and 35 mm down tube Columbus Zona mtb tubes. And that is lovely for my size and riding style #julemandsfysik
Regarding using a 31.8 top tube on a bike that already has a 31.8 downtube. It probably isn't necessary, but I want to use the leftover top tube to make the down tube gusset (that will make a nice transition from gusset to DT) and I think the bigger top tube will also give shouldering a bit more comfort. Any ways, frame is broken, so I might as well experiment.

This bike met a car door.
Top tube kinked, down tube is salvageable. I am replacing the 28.6 top tube with a 31.8 and brazing a gusset to the down tube. I feel like building a completely new frame, but on the other hand this one has been through so much, and I feel that it deserves another season.
