Just for a bit of balance like. I've broken one steel frame (snapped at tup tube and down tube when JRA! -Prestige and a warranty job) and bent steel mtb and road forks (over the bars stories) and stanchions on Mag21s I've cracked a ti frame. Don't think i've ever bent any aluminium stuff though. It clearly must be the best material ever!

You realise you guys are basically ruining your chances of selling anything on the classifieds again? "One seatpost for sale, NB I do have form in bending seatposts beyond 30deg" 😉

I've snapped the cranks of the bike machines at my local gym three times.

Or alternatively, "one seatpost for sale that I haven't managed to bend so it must be pretty awesome..."
