Are Saturday group ride had a guy shear off his bar, right at the stem. Older Cinelli stem and bar I believe. It was on a smooth, slight down hill, in a pack. Took no one down with him. Ugly though. I started lightening up on my bars after that.

I'd bet that a good number of forks of every material have broken in PR. Vintage content: A friend of mine broke his then-12 year old Teledyne Titan fork's steerer in a very minor fall on some railroad tracks; he picked himself up, brushed himself off, rode home, and took the fork out of the bike to find out why it steered funny only to discover a spiralled crack around the steerer.
