I'll post up links to any that I find and wait to hear back from you guys.
Again, thanks for the info to everyone. I feel like I'm bleeding you guys dry  |
If your going carbon then by new but if you go steel or alloy used is fine. I don't know of anyone personally that's broken an alloy frame aside from getting run over by a car. On the other hand I have lots of friends that have broken carbon frames and had to use the warranty to replace it for free. I personally have broken to trek Mtb frames and I just took it in to the shop and two weeks later I had a brand new frame 3 years newer then the previous.
