Summary:
We have riders still going strong on the same frame for 5 years now! Chromoly steel is durable, repairable and lasts a long time. We wrote these terms of warranty to protect the business from absorbing high costs that are damaging to our ability to stay remain in business to be upfront and give you no surprises.
We live in a world of wildly various thinking and expectations. We are in this business because we love this sport more than almost anything and we want to make the best bike frame we can for you our fellow riders for the best price. We think more people on bikes makes a better world for you, your family, children and loved ones. Everything has a monetary cost and we cannot stay in business providing free parts to people that act recklessly or act with a manner of purposely abusing their equipment.
In order to remain a tenable business so we may keep the lights on and provide service to our current and future customers, we are unable to honor this warranty for those that break frames regularly due to negligence. If we deem this is you, your warranty will be null and void. If we’re fixing frames that people break on purpose or if he frame encountered some accident from riding it improperly or owner maintenance negligence, we can tell and figure it out easy, please don’t bother testing us. If we’re able to make a decision to help you in these scenarios it is purely based on goodwill and you will be expected to cover the cost.
