I had two and thrashed the feck out of em, including lake jumping, might explain the rust on one of them, but never cracked one. How did you crack your in 20 places???
bsdforever:
it was ridden by about 4 people and was cracked in a few places around the seattube and platform and also above and behind the BB
it was really rusty too, a total wreck
although AD lugs had been welded on at some point so that probably weakened it

Hey Grant... I had 15ft on mine... I rode it for about 3 months in 89... I did 10ft 540s on it also.... The dropouts where bad... The MDP that i have here lasted 1 day and i think probally compared to all the other crap we where riding it was O.K... i think the TA was better though... I have my Craig frame here and also the first Pro lite forks also... They are coated in duck oil.... as is all my frames i have to keep them like new...
Did you ever ride the air master!!!! I have 8 frames in a week...

I had a CC Prolite as well, but mine never cracked. In fact it was my favorite all-time bike to ride. I thought it held up to abuse very well.

Peter Hawkins has a chrome Prolite, frame number 001. nice.
