How did this happen?/ what would LFGSS do?
I was riding in shoreham (great ride!) when I went to change the front cog with my Shimano double tap. This has been a little sticky for a year or so. A shop guy told me was just the age of the parts and wasn’t a lot I could do…
I was trying to keep the chain fairly central. Often the back cog wouldn’t move up when I hit the left hand shifter, but I found when I moved the back cogs shifter that would sometimes allow the front cog to finally move from the little to big.
However this time disaster struck. And as I did this the chain fell off, next I believe as my pedal leg drove round, part of the frame then snapped off the mech hanger. This I think then pushed the derailer into the back wheel and through the back wheel.
Questions. Is this frame written off? Any idea how I snapped the frame of my bike? Should I have replaced the shifter and derailer long ago?
Shout out to the kind man who gave me a lift to my car an hours walk away.

I posted this in 2019 and it’s been sitting untouched in the garage ever since so am reposting:
Custom single speed Peugeot for sale.
Background - Bought it off a mechanic in Hammersmith in 2016. He'd been converting mountain bike frames into single speed bikes. We've got too many bikes now so looking to sell this one.
It's been in storage for 5 years or so and hasn't been ridden since then. Tyres are flat in pic.
Fairly old but is a nice ride. Getting a little rusty on the handlebars too.
My gf used to ride it she is about 5ft 1 so is good for the shorties.
£55 smackers ONO.
Based in Hayes, Bromley.
(Sorry about the bird poo on the front cog)
