I can easily see the flat strip yoke bent and the chainstays around the scallops also look like their hinge point. Makes sense with the least lateral cross section. Andy
That's where I would expect the chainstays to bend as well. Did the upper plate bend or the seatstays or the mono? The upper plate looks pretty stout so i'd expect it's in the thinner seatstays.
