My seat stay cracked right through on my Specialized Ruby.
The bike flipped, landing on the saddle (which was ripped off the rails) and the seat stay must of taken all the force. Rear wheel was buckled as well

I took a lot of damage as well (seriously broken bones).

Whole bike was written off. Specialized only honour the frame replacement in the USA.

Thank goodness for insurance!

The bike had survived being dropped and slow speed crashes (falling at traffic lights etc) beforehand. I don't think any bike would of survived this crash anyway.
