Had a heartbreakingly nightmarish moment with my NJS Peloton going into work this morning. Just coming down from Kings Cross towards Chancery Lance, pulled off from a junction and heard a massive crack. Initially thought this was (somehow...) my saddle coming loose from the seatpost. Got to nearest bike shop to borrow some tools, before realising the saddle was absolutely fine. Further inspection revealed a fucking ginormous crack the ENTIRE way round the bottom of the seat tube...

I'm so sad about this. Just did the DD on this over the weekend completely without problems. It's just...happened. No idea how. Every bike-y person I've shown this to is baffled. So now having to swap all parts over onto an old Fuji frame, and think about what - if anything - I can do with the Peloton. The friendly and helpful folk at Full City Cycles suggested Argos. Could be an option. But I'm slightly concerned about whether a crack of this nature - basically a complete dissection of the tube - means even a good fix won't do the job. Got no idea really; never had a problem like this before.
Thoughts / suggestions of what I can do with the frame (very) welcome.
I'm off to weep and drink.
