Bike companies not honoring warranties
I have been hearing stories that the bike companies are not honoring warranties on carbon fiber bikes. Now mind you that this even when there is no sign of crashing. I heard one story where one guy went up to Specialized and they through him out.

I'll bet that took you a lot of courage to come out and tell us this
story about this "one guy". He's probably really a sweet and often misunderstood, big-hearted guy much like yourself. One who only wants the love of a decent woman and a free carbon fiber bike for some stupid ****ing dumbass move he pulled ? Does this sound about right you corporate terrorist **** ? |

I heard one story where one guy went up to Specialized and they through him out. Appaling! Warranty issues have traditionally gotten a warm welcome here. http://groups.google.com/group/rec.b...b82731eb2582ef F PS Last weekend I broke a Trek mtb that I bought 11 years ago. As the original owner I brought it back to the dealer for warranty replacement. Because of the age it's likely I'll get a credit against a new bike. They really can't replace the frame because nothing on the bike I broke is current. I'm totally OK with that since I've been lusting for a 29er. What was key was that there was no evidence of any big frontal hits since riding like a moron voids the warranty. Did your friend have that problem? |

Luckily you should qualify for an EU warranty if you get one of these: http://www.bikeradar.com/news/article/bianchi-launch-two-new-29ers-for-2012-30586/ |

Since I was going to replace the one that I broke I'm pretty happy with that. And I've slaked the 29er lust. Sucks to be the guy that wiped out his CF bike and couldn't get a new one. F |

F Yeah but Randall sure showed them - he bravely put in his 2 cents worth - hell 2 zloty worth and showed that minimum wage bike shop employee who's the boss. A whole 6-7 people have seen Randall's effective commentary on how "one guy" couldn't get a new bike and "through him out" This will be a case study to rival Ralph Nader's "unsafe at any speed" or as Randall might put it - 'reer injuned cars are bad" |
