Strida 5.0 frame failure

Sorry for the delay everyone. I’ve sent photos to the admin and to Chris. Strida got back to me a few days after I sent photos to them. My bicycle included a lifetime warranty when I purchased it in 2008, and Strida is sending a new bike!

Strida indicated the area where my frame failed has been redesigned. Perhaps I should take a comparison photo when the new bike arrives.

To be fair I searched Google for broken Brompton, and discovered many stories and photos of their frames breaking – and Brompton is supposed to be the best folder. So far my broken Strida is the only one I’m aware of. Perhaps just bad luck? I’m 5’ 9" tall and weigh 175 lbs. so I don’t think I’m too heavy for the bike.
