Even my Colnago BiTitan cracked along one of it's downtubes. And since I had bought it new I was just SOL. These cracks are rarely dangerous as far as I've seen but they would grow to be dangerous if you continued riding them.


??? I'll assume SOL means "Sh-t Out of Luck". Right? Anyway, if you bought the Colnago bike NEW, as you state, why couldn't you get warranty work on it? Most warranties are for the original owner. And extend for years/forever if its a manufacturing defect. Why didn't you just take your bought NEW bike back to the shop and say give me a warranty replacement? It sounds like truth and your stories don't add up correctly.

Well apparently those "lifetime warranties" are not so clear. The
manufacturer can claim that the frame wore out rather than the breakage
being due to a manufacturing defect. But I suspect that he just
mis-wrote, and meant to say "And since I had bought it used I was just SOL."
