MrSmith [quote]unxetas damn.. did noone come up with a lifetime warranty on road frames yet?
that's crash damage, some manufacturers offer a crash replacement (discount frame) but what's happened to that frame is not a warranty defect the importer/retailer is going to laugh at you if you want a new frame.
i think cannondale warranty their frames for life?[/quote]
well the crash replacement sounds pretty good.. A few bmx companies do offer lifetime warranties on their frames, which is pretty cool :) But I guess ultra-lightweight road bikes are a little to fragile..
Which kinda reminds me - I see all these videos on youtube of guys riding fixies jumping curbs and doing 180's.. Are there any frames built with that in mind? Or at least generally considered strong enough to withstand some of that abuse? What about rims? :)
