SABOTAGE!

It appears to have been done with a Sawzall, which would only take a few seconds with a new blade.
If anything, I'm madder than he is. I put a hell of a lot of work into this bike, and some asshole fuckface cut his frame. I feel violated. My jaw hurts from clenching it and grinding my teeth.
Action Man has an idea who might've done the deed, but no proof. It's been this way for some time, probably a month or so. He told me a few weeks ago that the handling was off, but I thought it was because his rear shocks had lost their air.
The good news is that my friend isn't dead.
More good news is that this can be fixed.
The bad news is that we're going to have to strip this bike completely down to the frame and inspect every single component to make sure nothing else has been fucked with. As soon as I finish my bike, his bike is coming apart. I'd tear into his bike now, but I don't want to risk mixing our parts up.

That's more than just sabotage or an (im)practical joke, that's directly placing another persons (Action Mans) life in danger. :ohmy:
If he/you can find out who did this and provide proof, I'm willing to bet that felony charges can be filed on the bastich! :evil:

im not too sure about welding that down tube unless you can slug the inside of the tube with another tube that fits really tight and weld it and gusset the hell out of it:blink:Just when you think you've seen it all! Reweld the frame, grab the suspected culprit, tie a rope around his waist and drag him behind the bike for a few miles.

You probably should register this event with the proper authorities as it is attempted murder:)
