It happened tonight. I was sprinting up a hill in the drops and heard the tube go, then my bike turned into a wet noodle. I'll contact the rep, send him some pics and start the RA process. The frame's a Devinci - do you guys sell those at the Parliament St. location or should I talk to Maki?

PS. This was my first time breaking a frame. It sounded like a loud tick when it broke - nothing dramatic at all. The bike's handling made it plainly obvious that something was wrong though. I'm glad the top tube held!

PPS. These pics make it hard to tell but that break is on the down tube about 4" away from the head tube. The crack originated right at the cable stop. Yaaay, stress risers.
