Yeah, I crashed my OG Talbot ISP into the back of a MTB’r who hopped off a curb into the road right in front of me when I was doing 30 odd kph.
Frame looked ok on first inspection, but after two or theee rides a huge ripple appeared on the underside of the downtube where it meets the head tube. Prolly would have failed catastrophically if I had kept riding it. Luckily I’m good friends with a certain forum framebuilder, so he just built me a new one
I now use the original frame as a donkey to test new paint products on. It’s probably got about 30 odd coats of lacquer on it by now!
