It could be a track only bike that was a write off with no resale value, if that was the case, why the hell not. I doubt a couple of holes in that area will have any effect on the structural integrity of the frame.

Probably not as bad as it looks TBF....seems reet dodgy, actually not that bad a place to whack a hole in the frame :lol:

Meh.
Small round holes a lot better than a crack type discontinuity.
Doubt it makes a crap of difference to the strength of the frame.

Might have been nicer if he'd got it right with the first hole. :lol:

That makes no sense at all, it's hardly going to register any compression along its length when they change gear, it should be horizontal.
