    Props to Turner! Unbelievable customer service

    I broke my 2010 Turner 5 Spot at the bottom bracket down tube junction. Snapped it in half!

    Cycle Path in Portland, Oregon sent it in for me. Great shop! Six weeks later or so my frame came back. Turner redesigned the frame's BB/down tube junction with other upgrades to the frame: New hardware, taco was welded stronger, etc. They essentially hardened the frame. New pivots also.

    I will take a picture once it is back together.

    That's great to hear! Great job to DT and folks!

    Not that I'm looking forward to breaking my frame, but it's good to know that they take care of their customers.

    Don't forget the part where you bought it used for $1000.00 on eBay....

    Makes the story even better.

    I told them and they didn't care. I would have understood if they told me tough luck. At some point Turner is not responsible for a broken frame. I hear guys who think they are entitled a new frame after owning a frame for five years or more. I thought Turner would charge me $400 or so to fix it. I would have happily paid it.

    Just saw a 5-spot on the trail today and every time I see a Turner I always drool a little. Great company and is anyone else looking forward to what they come out with in the next couple years? I'm sure Dave has some stuff up his sleeve (i.e., carbon) that will blow people's minds. I would love to see Turner and/or Ventana come out with something really, really cool and innovative. Perhaps Sea Otter?

    Huh? Can't wait until you break a frame? What?

    I always hope to not have to use Turner CS, but it is comforting to know that it is there for me...

    It's comforting to know that. I just bought a blue 2010 Turner 5 Spot off ebay. The thing has never been ridden off road. I feel like I'm adopting a neglected puppy.
    I like to ride bikes.
