abe Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 I have snapped A t-pro clean in half, I were laid out on the floor, with my body stretched, still with my feet on the pedals and hands on the handle bars. Although I intended on finishing that frame off on that day, it was funny. But painful. I snapped it conviniently a few weeks before christmas. R.i.p t pro, gone but not forgoten.
