Re: [RBW] New Trek 10lb. Road Bike with lifetime warranty.

2014-07-02 Thread RJM
I've seen people get screwed out of Trek's lifetime frame warranty. My cycling buddy crashed in a paceline and was told he would have to purchase a new frame, which I understand. Here is the thing though...his bike completely was torn apart in that crash...it was in half, fork was destroyed.

I'm kind of surprised (and disappointing) by the immediate this person is not a Rivendell (or bicycle) expert, the bikes must be stolen tone of the last 18 posts... No relation, but maybe the seller it not 'cyclist' or 'enthusiast' that would frequent (or even seek) a forum like this. Maybe
