Could be. The boom twisted out of square over time. Luckily, I found another VK boom that put things right. I never understood how the boom could just sort of deform like that.
I had both a tiller and O.C. bars. Both broke eventually as did the tiller stem. I cobbled new steering parts from a Metabike of all things.
Also, the frame broke at the rear drive side dropout and I repaired that. Then, I had an impact hole in the side of the frame, presumedly from a rock thrown by a car, and I had to repair that.
Finally, I decided I had squeezed all of the fun out of the bike that I could and sold it as is for parts.
