Bike frame stiffness: Why it matters and all you need to know

I had one of the fork ends break off a steel fork. Fortunately I was going at less than a walking pace, navigating out of a store parking lot. I was 2 miles from home, and just walked the bike while planning its replacement.

It was a break that I would have noticed much sooner, had I regularly inspected it, because the other side was half broken off.

The funny thing is, I play in a band, and when I told my story that night, 3 guys in the band offered to weld it.

I'd get the drummer to put together the rig which holds the parts in place, bass player to make the crucial spot welds and then the lead guitarist to go ape shit with the rest, while the singer goes whoo yeah!
