If you hit a frame hard enough, will it break??? ( I think that bike has been on its side, and hit something HARD!?)

It's hosted on his website. A collection of failed frame pictures.

I'm on a E mail list that Tony is on, there was a discussion about broken frames and what factories do about it, Tony posted the link.

RB would love it, one frame kept braking because of a hole drilled for a horn......... :wtf:
