Mike W Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 carbon steel doesnt really suggest anything man, depends on alloy and how high or low the amount of carbon in the steel is.Nightmare though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason222 Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 I actually burst out laughing when I saw these pictures. I think Damon is the first person to ever break a marino frame! Not surprised! Damon will break any bike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bionic Balls Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 it does seem as if the front triangle is a bit too long....needs another seat-tube like a t-rex to give it a bit more stiffness maybe..?Even though we all knew marino is just a bloke in a shed...this really shows the value of design and testing that the big companies do..! That's where all the money goes then...Carbon steel...hehehe..quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoze Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 (edited) reweld it?*Attention Rich*Didn't the Leeson Thumper have similar problems? (although no-where near as bad...) Like, steel frames just not being conducive to long and low?It had all those mad braces between the top + downtubes, was a beast!

onzat-comp Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 The more carbon steel has the stronger it becomes however the carbon makes it more brittle .However the less carbon it has the weaker it is and the more chance of it bending instead... loose loose situation if you ask me animal by the way... exactly how old was it before it died Rick x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stunt man t Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 ive never seen a frame thats snaped like that mate ive seen your vids, and the goo held up really well maybe if they were a bigger company they would make stronger frames??or they probably never thought you'd ride one so never thought about making it strong enuf to take so much abuse you gave youre goo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
