Let me start by saying that I absolutely love this bike, period. I have had some issues over the first 16 months of its life. I am 5'8", 165 ibs, 180 max with gear. I ride a size small. No large drops or anything on this bike.
First, the rear seat stays became unglueed from the aluminum lugs. Titus fussed over this, but sent me a new upper assembly in no rush. I was without a bike for three weeks.
Second, my first front triangle had the shock mount that had an inset milled into it. It started to develop a stress crack through the relieved area. I had one of my brake hoses zip-tied (loosely) to the area to prevent frame rub. They told my LBS it had to be from the zip tie, but after pressing the issue, they sent me a new front triangle. Without a bike for 6 weeks.
Now, I get how from Syllamo's Revenge and find a crack in my drive-side chainstay originating out of the weep hole. IT is acout a 1/2 " long.
I don't know if I am just some super-human beast on a bicycle, but I don't think that I am strong enough to be breaking frame parts once ever 6 months or so. Also, I am getting near the end of my warranty period, and I have to wonder what is going to break next. Has anyone heard of a frae having this many problems? Is this typical?
