If I end up picking up a used Tallboy LTc is the warranty transferable or do you need to be the original owner if you ever have a warranty issue

So it looks like new may be the way to go in case you ever have an issue. I wonder what they consider a nominal fee if you crash the.bike and the frame needs replacement

Nope, aside from Nicolai I know of no mtb companies that allow the transfer of warranties.

Turner allows for warranty transfer as well.

Its not a guarantee but my first Blur was out of warranty and SantaCruz replaced the frame at no cost. Usually crash replacement is at cost so approx. 50% of new, just a guess.

Ibis may take care of any issues with second hand framea too. They are great to work with.

Just buy 99% shares in the bike then if the bike fails it can be coverd by the warranty because the 1st owner is still a legal owner.
