RIP: polo bike

What looks to start as just a crack in the paint can be followed right around the back of the head tube to the other side.

:(

The last one (I think) shows that the crack has allowed the top tube to actually move into the back of the head tube.

that is some high quality welding you have there.

Gaffa tape and HTFU (2 servings)

Sad day.
RIP.

That's really sad... Any luck with getting another frame? :[

if that's Max-weld (TM) then i'd sue the fucker.

:(

In fact, I have a frame in my front room you can have... Was saving it for Lori's sis but it'll be too big for her anyway...

"oh hai. i'm in yur photo, tut-ing at your "welds""

hahahah! horatio spot! :D do i win a prize?

Ha! Cheers, Joe. But I ain't stealing your GF's sis's bike! Something will turn up. Hael has a Langster in his cupboard... Maybe I'll make the plunge to wickedom ;)

Really man, it's gonna be too big for her... I'll easily find something her size at HH for pennies... It's made of lead, good for polo...

Shame. I think Max-welds are too hot for thin tubing, making it brittle. He definitly prolonged the frames lives but both of mine and yours have re-failed.

Oooooh, analgam.

I'm not sure if that means it's wicked or not, but maybe not a polo bike?

Did you end up measuring it? Is it 55 ctc or ctt?

I'll measure it tonight... Will text ya...

Cheers, Joe. Take a good look at it too. Make sure it's not too pretty. I will destroy it ;)

"It's only a (polo) bike"

sorry to hear your having such bag luck with the frames
hope the new one is nice

Dead soldier. Bummer.

I'd personally keep playing until it actually snapped. Then it would be a real soldier.
