    Dumbass -

    Two things:

    1) Those "great Italian manufacturers" were capitalists themselves
    2) Their bikes also broke

    When engineers design bicycle frames, they take calculated risks when
    it comes to reliability/lightness. There is no free lunch. Until a
    quantum leap is made with a frame composed of Buckminster Fullerenes,
    lightness=less crash survivability.

    thanks,

    a rewrite.

    I do not want to be the manufacturer's rep he is walking toward.

    You can tell from his dazed and confused eyes and expression that he's
    juiced to the gills. He probably dope-stomped on the pedals, made a
    dope-quick turn, his front end was dope-turning while the rest of the
    bike was still dope-accelerating. Clearly operator doping error.

    Engineers were involved? I wish I could be sure. But that looks to my
    amateur eye like a failure that started at the weld, which implies a
    manufacturing failure rather than a design failure, notwithstanding that
    the spec for the joint could be inherently flawed.
