It’s an odd one. Badged a Ken hill but don’t know anything about him. 99.9% it is a diamond back 26er from I think 91/92. Had it a while. There are quicker rides but it makes me happy. Fix will be tricky as if is tig welded. Maybe just some more zip ties! it would be an interesting test of lifetime warranty.

‘Kin hell is that a Ken Hill?!
I just wanted to make this silly joke as it’s what came to mind instantly.

Is that the north Kent coast?

lifetime warranty
Yeah but obviously that expires when the bike reaches the end of its lifetime, such as for example when the seat tube separates from the bottom bracket.

Thanks for posting picture, really like that kind of bikes, and agree with you re. nice/fast; though I'm not going on adventures like yours I seem to end up making my bikes heavier (not that I ever had a light one).
Would be nice to find out about tubing pedigree and see if it's worth investigating repair. I would think that someone like Winston at Varonha frameworks could sort this... -
100% a diamond back judging by bridge, hanger and dropouts / rack mounts.
Possibly 92 sorrento? not sure where else they used that crackle

Well done! Please can I ask what bike/frame this is? Not much to see on the pics but still it seems to be a good frame (chain stay bridge).
Curious as to why it happened, and whether you will want to fix it?
