Because i have owned an orange frame and had it crackMakes you think why you share this kind of stuff.
Cracking i understand but the way this one broke was quite dramatic .My thoughts are: how well did he take care of his frame, was there existing rider causing damage and it's the internet, loud minorities get amplified unrealistically because people like attention. Every and any frame can break under the right circumstances, it can happen to you and me on the next ride. One instance isn't an indication of a problem, neither is 10 considering the volume of bikes sold.
I think this for any frame break I see.
Some good points especially regarding age and extended useI'm glad he is still fit and well. As far as the bike is concerned I would have a few questions. He constantly referred to the frame he races...so was the Orange bike standard or had he built his own bike from just a frame? He admits breaking other frames including a previous Orange warranty claim. I'm not surprised the frame ended up in pieces if it was the head tube that exploded. Was that frame designed for that double crown fork?
Regardless having raced offroad cars in the past everything is pushed hard and nothing lasts a full season!
