Damn Mark, that really sucks.
That was (is) one great looking bike.
Glad you are allright though.

Thats bad Mark :shock: :shock: Looks as if you have taken a tin opener to it, were there any beans inside

Strange on a steeley though? isnt it ?

I have a saracen you can always borrow

First frame I've had break on me. I've put on a bit of terry over the past few years, but didn't expect this
It looks like its failed on the braze. I've found a chap local to me that I hope can fix this for me. I'd planned to get the frame re-coated this winter, but that may be getting moved forward now.
I hope I can save it as I've really grown into this frame and have got it dialed in ust about perfect for me now.
If it's scrap then the frame only cost me £40 so I've had more than my fare share of fun out of it.
This is my most modern ride too...bloody modern muck!

good ole steel, when it breaks, it doesn't kill you in the process.
Sorry, dude

Collecting from repair later so fingers crossed!

I'm sure Paul @ Rock Lobster would fix it, but the shipping will cost more than the repair - so maybe go local.

You'll probably want both chainstays replaced so they match.

Just did that with my Curtlo

It looks like its failed on the braze.

Non-ferrous metals (e.g. brass, aluminium) will always succumb to fatigue failure before ferrous metals (like iron or steel). It would be nice to get that welded rather than brazed, but if the dropouts have been cast, then that might not be possible.
