so i was adjusting my seatpost today and as i was tightening down the binder bolt, the seat stay cracked. the bike is probably salvagable, but its hard to excuse yourself to throw down time, money, and effort at rebuilding your somewhat-unique/special conversion frame.

basically, it sucks to have your frame die in such an anti-climatic way; i always figured i'd lose the frame someday but hoped it would be in some epic crash where i got up unharmed with a totalled bike and got to claim $800 in damages or something... at least then i could post a crazy HAY GUYZ I CRASHED photos.

so somebody, share with me your sad breaks that just kindof happen on a normal day, but aren't necesarily a product of user error.
