Up at the top under 'BikeForums', it's called "Search the Forums".

I want a new frame... but I want to break or severely mangle mine first... but that probably won't be so hard. My prediction is my chainstay on my left side is just going to snap.

You could just cut the seattube if you ever so desired.

Not really, it's like cutting your seatpost, except it's your frame. It's not like you are making holes to lose weight, you're cutting you seattube to lower/slam your seat more.

Yeah. I did that to my frame, it was kind of hard to cut. Easier than the bars, but way harder than the seatpost.
