Strida 3 tube latch

The latch that holds the bottom tube has lost its spring on my strida 3. This potentially means the bike could collapse during riding.

I think this was caused by corrosion inside the latch mechanism. Bit concerning

Here’s the same problem at an 5.xx Strida, I mean for an experienced bike mechanic it should not be a big problem to replace the missing spring and fix the latch.

True. But I am concerned that sooner or later someone could end up having an accident.
