2nd broken frame

Hello,

I have broken my second frame this year. The first one was a old steel frame and now a colossi cheeko.
They both broke at almost the same point


Does someone have an idea why would this happen and what frame would be a solution?

Thanks

What year is that Colossi?

It's a tig-welded frame. If you get a tig weld wrong, stuff like this happens. I think you may just be unlucky.

stick to steel frames, so they flex instead of cracking under pressure!

Are you a heavy rider? Do you unweight/lighten as you pass over ruts? Are you curb jumping or something? That's a strange coincidence, to say the least.
