    Wow. Another broken carbon frame.

    Are there any still intact?

    It was the start of the Open mens race, there was a gap, someone went for it, suddenly there wasn't a gap, a big pile up ensued!

    It may be upside down, but Rob's 1999 Pro-flex is still pretty much intact

    Some of RMs aluminium frames weren't exactly built to last either. ETS-X anyone?

    Thats the second one of those Vertex frames I've seen snap, there's a guy on here – local to me who had a similar issue

    More interesting was the brand new Giant Anthem that they guy finished racing then noticed the 2" stick that had gone clean through his seat stay, leaving a fairly substantial hole!

    I was so hoping this was about Manwells hardtail that's been in the classifieds forever (a bargain at £700)
