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.
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.
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
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.
@@bbikerlawrence I like the helmet. I can't justify the purchase right now, but the magnetic sunglass shield sold me (contacts for astigmatism have massive jumps between the steps that I'm stuck in-between so I'm pretty much stuck with glasses).
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.
Thanks Lawrence..all is not lost , carbon is repairable ! Tell Ben "Wagwan breadbins "
You people rolling with loose rotors and cracked top tubes. Wild! 🤘😂

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.
Hope you get it sorted
Thanks mate! I will do :)
Good luck replacing (or fixing) the frame. So unfortunate.
Every time you squeeze the frame, the crack propagates and you de-laminate the carbon layers.
Hey Lawrence !
Does this helmet ventilate well in warm weather ?
thanks
I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re riding in temperatures over 30c Celsius
@@bbikerlawrence thanks 🥳
Roll of duck tape and some chicken wire and that top tube should be good to go.
Hmmmmmm, I’m not putting chicken wire on my toptube! I’ll see what carbon repair say 🥸

It's absolutely not from sitting on the top tube. Thanks for the concern.
@@bbikerlawrence lol ok. That’s exactly how that crack happens and yall are doing it in the video. But sure. 👍
JWEEEEEEEKS 🫶🫶
What a boi!
Scrape it and buy a new one 🤣
You really need to color grade your videos or to record in another preset... Your videos always look dull and sad hahaha
It’s true, I haven’t changed anything but somethings off… (with full Lut applied) working on it 🫣
That helmet, is a big no
You don’t like it ? ☹️
