Does anyone remember…
Perhaps this was a vivid dream, but I seem to remember a thread where a guy proudly posted pics of his fixie with multiple large diameter holes drilled in the main tubes (and maybe the rear triangle as well).
Does anyone remember this thread? I would love to follow up with the person to get a report on collapse of the frame and see if he has recovered from his injuries.

He must be the poor cousin of the engineer who came upwith this:
the Arantix Delta open lattice bike frame.......I think it would be safe to ride this one!

84 Peugeot PSV

I think he was definitely planning to ride it and felt pretty confident that all would be fine. I briefly searched for the thread, but with no luck. I'd love to locate the pic... I wanted to show it to a friend of mine.

This is one perforated Masi

There was another on Wooljersey but the server froze on me, the yellow one in there has additional slots in the fork.

ZOMBIE ALERT
once again I wasted an hour looking for this thread. surely someone has it booked marked. IIRC some of the frames were beautifully done.
I found this and a few chainstay slots on flicker

Back when I was in college there was a racer (who was also a machinist) that took an uneventful frame and drilled large holes horizontally and vertically through all the tubes and used it as his training bike. As far as I know, it never failed.
