Just riding along...

It's all in the title. Not a holly bush for kilometres. Was out with a couple of mates for a regular weekly after-work blat around a very easy, completely non-technical loop. Felt the saddle slip and thought perhaps I hadn't done the seat post collar up tightly enough. Felt it slip again with a definite backward tilt this time and figured it must be the saddle rail clamp instead. Got off and scratched my head when I saw that both were secure. Then I saw the big crack and just gawped for a while. I guess it's a long-term fatigue thing that has resulted in catastrophic failure. Thank goodness for the lifetime frame warrantee.
