Nice!

They don't make 'em like they used to, I just broke my 3rd frame! Broken a Marin then a Condor and now my, supposedly unbreakable Kona...Lets see if they honour the lifetime warranty :roll:

Crikey... That’s odd to get a failure there, Reynolds 520 tubing and not in a heat affected zone... My Paddy Wagon is going great, even after I got stacked by a car door...

Now I’ve worked out the frame size I realise I’m a little small for it at 5’7”....

Apparently it is odd... Still, my dealer was not too surprised, he has seen me break 3 frames now and 2 crank arms snapped off in the middle (causing accidents both times, 1 was a hospital visit :roll: ) In 30 years working with bikes he has only ever seen 3 broken cranks, 2 from me (5 years apart). I don't stand up and go mental anymore, partly age but mainly the fear of another crankarm breaking :(

Good news though Nick...Kona has honoured their lifetime warranty and my bike guy has received my brand new 2019 paddy wagon frame. He's going to swap over the bits next week! :dance:
