Actually, the guy in the top photo is just runnig a prototype version with super adjustable geo. Right now it's in the "east coast" setting for all the tight technical riding we apparently have here. Headtube is steepened up a bit, slightly shorter wheelbase, you know the drill. :D

That snapped brown Elite frame looks like it has some pretty significant downtube damage, and the other ones obviously nose-cased real, real bad.

The Sunday is by far the toughest frame I know of. Just think about how many were sold, how rare legitimately broken ones are, and how many sundays are still being ridden hard. In fact, I'm about to hop back on a 2007 Sunday that's been ridden very hard since new, and still is rock solid.

We need more bikes like the Sunday!

I'm inclined to agree.
I've been beating the crap out of mine for about 5 years now and it has a lot of dents on the downtube (for a while now) and still seems to be holding up okay. Judging by those pics I should keep an eye on it, but I've broken all my previous frames in much shorter time periods (2-3 years).

There are also a lot of them out there, considering it was the fanboy bike to buy for quite a few years (look how many demos have sold recently, and it's only been a couple of years).

Hopefully mine doesn't die anytime soon, tempted to grab a spare for if/when it does.
