MintSauce Posted September 11, 2008 Share Interestingly, the only company with a warrenty that covers the bike irrespective of how many owners it has had, is the oft knocked/ripped of/slagged Raleigh. It's 5yrs, not a lifetime warrenty, but really now, a frame can't be expected to last forever. I have heard stories of boutique brands in the USA going out of their way to keep customers happy, even if the bike is way out of warrenty. Depends who you're dealing with. With forums as busy as they are these days, they'd be silly to not repair or replace a bike that really does have a defect, even if it isn't the original owner Another question relating to insurane companies not covering manufacturer defects. Say the frame breaks after I jump a 4 foot to flat drop-off and I landed heavy. How do you tell whether it was defective manufacture or *** riding? Whose resposibility is it to prove which one it is? Meaning, is it my obligation to prove it was *** riding or do the insurers have to prove it was faulty manufacture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
