Please be careful while riding that. gugificazione doesn't need to have multiple meanings - if you catch my drift.

If I were in your situation, I would likely do a Jackson Pollack paint job on the head tube, then basically forget about it.

Well one positive thing that came out of this mishap is that it's an educational situation for some - I never knew this could happen. Also didnt know frame builders BITD saved money by using seamed HTs. Seems like a poor way to save a small amount of money.

I thought this was a proper ENGLISH bike :foo: |
As far as what could go wrong?
A sheared HT shouldn't be catastrophic. Gradually loosening headset? Perhaps the biggest concern is whether the TT and DT are also weakened. Watch them. |

I would also note that this offers a technique you could use going forward -- whenever you take a picture of the finished bike make sure the handlebars are obscuring the unfortunate part of the head tube. |

If you see the tubes rapidly buckling, then you'll know that you turned too late :mad:

:lol: But really, as it has been pointed out, the headset should hold it together.

It worked for those two guys re-riding the 1914 Giro. |
