    I don't want to turn this into a thread about engineering and strength of tubes etc but that weird shaped top tube...looks like a weak point. Having said that wasn't expected a picture of it bent in half and the down tube sheared off completely!!

    He let me borrow it, and with me being such a 'balls-out, gnarly, extreme-to-the-max riding dude' - I broke it.

    So where did it go first? Top or bottom? Looks to me like the bottom snapped at the end of the butting then the top got folded as a result?
