I got straight T boned on an aluminum walmart scwhinn, me doin ~18, car doin ~25. Severe concussion, three fractured ribs. Replaced the fork, front wheel, and cockpit. Had the frame checked at a shop, nothing wrong with it.
If a walmart bike can pass the test, a two thousand dollar custom frame better pass too.
