Thanks Lawrence..all is not lost , carbon is repairable ! Tell Ben "Wagwan breadbins "

[@felixjackson2670]

Rotten luck…Big fan of Vitus frames. I do Carbon repair and recently repaired big hole in downtube of Vitus Cross frame…. Well worth getting it repaired Lawrence if you like the frame and enjoy riding it.

[@ZenEndurance]

Not bad luck. It’s from sitting on the top tube. You should NEVER sit on the top tube of a carbon bike and the other two guys are doing it while they are looking at his bike.

[@geetee4037]

What makes you a fan?

[@felixjackson2670]

@@geetee4037 simply think they are decent frames,well made and good price( shame they are not being made anymore)

[@miguelcpt]

Hope you get it sorted

[@sperrotin]

I am sure your frame can be repaired.
The guys at Carbon Bike Repair (who helped Francis and Justin in the US) will be able to sort you out.

[@the_rzh]

Every time you squeeze the frame, the crack propagates and you de-laminate the carbon layers.

[@jimpeyton1459]

Darn shame...Vitus was a good brand. Do you think that carbon wizard who helped Justin Levene in the ride across america could help? The Vitus could serve as a backup....time for new gravel bike sponsor anyways.
Thanks as always LC. 8:58

Good luck replacing (or fixing) the frame. So unfortunate.

[@aaronhamlen8215]

Good luck with that frame. The cafe looks cool.

[@bbikerlawrence]

Thanks! The cafe is awesome 😎

[@nickroche8553]

yeeehaw bro! new frame coming soon... heard its a red wagon!

[@fisharefriends598]

That just puts me off carbon .. too fragile

[@bbikerlawrence]

I don’t blame you… however I’ve done 10 years without any issue, I guess my time has come 🫠

[@dafred9898]

Roll of duck tape and some chicken wire and that top tube should be good to go.

[@bbikerlawrence]

Hmmmmmm, I’m not putting chicken wire on my toptube! I’ll see what carbon repair say 🥸

[@aidanmasterson50]

With respect to the law and the rules of the road, only one of these two will be held responsible. Bottom line if a motorist is not paying attention 100% but travelling in the correct direction in the right lane and another makes a right in front of the which results in a crash, only one motorist is responsible. Great effort put into the apportioning some to the cyclist but all in vain.

[@ZenEndurance]

This happens from sitting on the top tube, something many people know you should NEVER do on a carbon bike. But the other two guys are doing it while they are looking at the crack. SMH. People, please stop doing this and ruining frames for no reason. And don’t buy these other guys’s frames used after seeing them sitting on their top tubes. Those will be cracked next.

[@keithyoung7764]

Scrape it and buy a new one 🤣

[@buzzman4860]

That helmet, is a big no

[@bbikerlawrence]

You don’t like it ? ☹️

[@Jrizzie]

JWEEEEEEEKS 🫶🫶

[@bbikerlawrence]

What a boi!

[@comtoisetienne]

You really need to color grade your videos or to record in another preset... Your videos always look dull and sad hahaha

[@bbikerlawrence]

It’s true, I haven’t changed anything but somethings off… (with full Lut applied) working on it 🫣
