Did you look at the broken piece to see how it sheared off?
It's a compact frame and I was just starting across the intersection, seated, and pushing a big gear, and then boom, next thing I know I'm sprawled on top of the frame. I recovered all of the pieces even the end of the bolt the next morning which had ended up in a pothole. The bolt wasn't bent or anything, just cracked straight across about 2mm from where it entered the retaining plate.
It's just so wierd as I messengered for years, bunny hopping pot holes, riding down stairs and never had a seat bolt break.
