teehee, i always go at speeed ;]
yes the squeeek was the symptom. maintainance and a proper look down the seat tube brought it to light. the internally hidden seat tube cracked around the (just) two spot welds (tacks really) and went halve way around the tube already, causing the seatpost/saddle to move even more resulting in even more squeeeking.
i'm gutted over the work that this frame received and rather disappointed with the brand as to design such weak ass shit. my unipack lasted longer before the seat tube went!!!
on the broight side, at least i get it sorted through warranty, but due to my concerns over their design, i feel, i have to upgrade (splash out even more dosh) to get something that will (i pray, really properly pray to the gods) not fall apart from a bit of riding around.
*meh
unluckiest mofo around!
