It's a good story. But scroll down. :)

Ouch. How can one explain that bizarre damage?
Almost like it took a tumble out of a moving truck or something.

Pfff. One glance told me that an angry woman would do more than that to lightweight bike tubing, even without a "3 lb. sledgehammer".

I'm curious about what really caused that damage. Obviously, there were many impacts. I'd also like to see better shots of the entire frame, to see if there is damage elsewhere.

Since the tube is not fully buckled, I'd ride that frame around town without worries . . .

It looks like someone vandalized it while it was locked up.

Frank had it coming to him and 30 swings of a sledgehammer would more than likely leave you wondering what the object used to be.

AD11 Tecnos. My wife would probably do the same if ever had an affair. (after she did a lorena bobbit to me in my sleep!)

Maybe a bike rack and a garage door?

Can't believe there weren't any comments...

THAT looks like the standard UPS/FedEx handling to me. ;)

At least she didn't boil his rabbit.

Doesn't look like the work of a 3 lb sledge. The force needed to break through a safety glass slider would buckle the tube.

Since I obviously can’t ever sell this frame I decided once to build it up fixed just to see how it went. It actually rides beautifully. It tracks perfectly straight and riding without hands is effortless. I usually don’t have any issues with riding bikes with a dent on the top tube but this one is an extreme case to say the least

See, another reason to not get a carbon frame! :beer:
