    350x frames breaking

    I recently discovered a crack in my 85' 350x frame.
    I have a parts bike for my 350x, and so I took my spare frame to get powder coated.
    I read on a thread here that a 350x frame cracking is not abnormal.
    if this is so, why?
    This is my trike. There are many like it but this one is mine. My trike is my best friend, and it is my life. I must master it as I must master myself. My trike without me is useless. Without my trike, I am useless. I must ride my trike true. My trike and I know that what counts is not the amount of miles we ride, but the time we ride together. My trike is human in it's own ways, therefore I will learn it as my brother. I will learn it's weaknesses, it's strengths, it's parts, and it's soul.

    I have never owned a 350X, but it seems just about every sport/race trike has its weak spots. TRI Z's have weak foot peg mounts for example. There are people here who know how to properly gusset a 350X frame to prevent this problem but Im not one of them. Someone with knowledge on this may chime in.
    Don't worry...just run watcha brung...
