Not used Velo Solos but that sounds like a stress fracture. Might just be age + quality unless there was constant strain at the bolt point (or was it just a clamp?).
They use those stainless crimp jobs, used a piece of old inner tube underneath so that it didn't need to be crimped that hard + any tiny movements don't make an annoying rattle/shreeking. But still it split. Looked nice though!
