The dent from Wills crash in Kyrgyzstan had after about 4000km undergone enough fatigue to form a small fracture, which then within 50km propagated through half the circumference of the down-tube. We found a guy nearby who looked like he could weld it up and held our breath as he went to work. Outside Baoji, Shaanxi, China.
