I've snapped a frame too. It was designed for audax, and I can generate a lot of explosive power, but clearly this was a case of builder error; probably over-heating during the brazing process (brazed/lugged).
It was the BB shell, and the whole top 'lug' bit sheared off with the seat-tube. Excuse my terminology, I'm no technician.
