As long as one of the currents topic of discussion is frame damage, I have a question for the frame experts: damage to which of the three tubes in the main triangle of any lugged steel frame (vintage bike, of course) is the most significant in terms of safety and in terms of the probabilty of being able to predict the likelihood of failure?
