Yep, it was a barmy design. This one is badly smashed but the early new Evos crack with just normal careful use.
Mine had been mothered but you can’t stop the fork pin from slowly working it’s way through the headtube cracking it eventually.
TBF as an OG #buyer Cdale swapped my frame for a new one with metal reinforcements but honestly that design should never have left the drawing board.

Haha glad I asked. Must have been quite a big hit to have broken that pin too.
Reading elsewhere (weight weenies), seems new frames come with some metal tabs at the limits, so at least the metal pin on the fork isn’t just mashing against carbon now.
