That's a helluva story, like chariot racing!
Might a Module-4 have taken that same punishment? Would anyone (er, besides me) race or even train on those???
I can't recall ever coming across a bent A29 Concave though.
Impressive for being single-walled!
Oh, and they had 26" Concaves, ...even wider and heavier, though not immune to flat-spotting of course.
There were also cheapened OEM versions, variously lacking an anodized finish and/or eyelets, some with the rim joint milled narrower than the rest of the rim (recalling Raleigh here), result of too much price-break bargaining on large orders.
...Can't recall if there were both pinned- and welded-joint Concave versions(?).
