Four!

One, two, three, four, 
Tell me I won’t break four more.

I cracked another Taiwanese mass produced aluminum Paragon frame.  That makes four, in case you’re counting.  I’ve had this frame since November, and it lasted six weeks longer than I predicted.  

I like the complete bike overhauls that a broken frame affords, but this is getting old. I wonder if it’s time for an upgrade:

Between the title of your post and your bad luck with frames, maybe it's time to take up golf.

Get a felt team carbon. I love mine.

aluminum = no fatigue limit.
no fatigue limit + cantilevered seat tube = frame failure.

Poor design. Every one will fail in this exact location, guaranteed.

I think its time to pick up welding and fix your own bike.

BTW I caved and bought a street bike. Come to my funeral when I get ran over. Switzerland is pretty and funerals only last a couple of hours.

Cheers.
