A frame for life, they said!

See that little crescent-shaped shard ?

That’s a carbon fibre – all modern titanium frames are carbon fibre. That’s why they break.

Looks like it’s spread from a hot spot where the weld was. 😆

How long was teh warranty?

Your seatpost is obviously way too long.

Aye, I was wondering if it might be that, every time I try and get on the bike it hits me right in the face.

Must be one of those Lynskey built Spec Savers.

My steel framed bins are still going strong.

That’s what you get for attempting to get a laterally compliant but vertically stiff frame………..looks custom too……….
8)

looks like chain suck caused that

Nah, I reckon it’s just a sticker

Too many pies caused that.

Your worktop could do with a polish

Not to blow my own trumpet, but I work in Optical Foresnsics. I’d have to see the frame in the metal to be sure, but from your photo, it looks like you have unbalanced ears – your left ear is both larger and slightly higher than the right. Probably hairy as well.

In layman’s terms, Dumbo, you’ve fed unsupportable stresses into the main body of the frame which has caused a crystalisation issue at a molecular level at the area of maximum auricular moment close to the bridge of your nose. Your specs have probably been on the verge of fracturing catastrophically for months now. To be brutal, you’re fortunate to still have both ears intact.

For your next frame, go custom steel or think about ear reduction surgery.

Looks like you’ve crashed that…. Don’t say you were JRA?! (just reading along)

they’re exactly the same as the ones I’m wearing. Worried.

He’ll we saying he was just reading along, then they snapped, all on their own. 🙄

Yeah righ….

I reckon the style police got to them to save you from yourself

Sorry, you can dismiss it as a fad or an attempt by the mags to get us to buy more stuff. But I have never had that happen with contact lenses.

Don’t worry,Enigma do small frame repairs 🙂

This thread is worth the price of new glasses Good work!

You can’t run lenses that thick with that frame, a breakage there was inevitable, and you will have voided the warranty

it’s not a crack, it’s a sticker

My second oakley spike titanium glasses have just broken in the same place as last….out of warranty of course and the best Oakley can do is 40% off a new pair at their retail price……works out more expensive than the discount stores even with discount!!!
