Couple of zip ties and some gaffer tape will sort that right out.

Ouch! Hope you weren't injured, mon vieux!

No as I said it happened on the way up so no harm done. A bit upset as it spoiled my ride

Maybe, but when you know the history of the bike, not an unlikely outcome.

well, if theres BIG hitters, it stands to reason there must be other categories of 'hitters' too?

edit: FWIW I categorise myself in the 'potato peeler' category

No doubt your LBS will get you a free replacement after you've bribed them with food.

Not made of tinfoil, but looks, like columbus nivacrom is not much thicker.

Got a JRA incident in today.Rippled top tube and bent/creased seat tube.Apparently he landed a little heavily whilst not jumping.But he didn't fall off so it must be warranty.I'm thinking 70/30 against when the importer gets to see it.

Ha Ha am not even going to the importer. Why well

Almost 10 year old frame.
Bought second hand
Change the original fork
Raced in it
Got it powder coated (tampering with the from warranty void)
Might have done what people consider to be drop off
Got the head tube re-welded
Tampered with the paint again
So I am adamant rich from silverfish won't warranty me 😉
