Fwiw a TAW rider has had Kinesis ship him out a replacement frame and arranged a bike shop to express refit his setup onto it, to avoid their reputation being shot!
Darren's frame isn't a Kinesis is it? I thought he had a J.ACK Laverack. Before it developed a fatal crack.
My Ti Kinesis is out of warranty so if it cracks I might enter an ultra to get a replacement...

Correct, just flashing it as an example of what could be done.
Darren has given Laverack lots of good pr but I recall he also had issues with seatpost slip with that frame. Combine it with what I've heard about people with Bowman frames having failures, like Paul Buckley, and it would put me off going to one of these smaller bike makers.
I also still don't see the point of titanium bikes!

Nasty.
The bit that surprises me is that the bike shop missed it.
