I'm not sure if I would be considered BIG or POWERFUL. But I snapped this aluminum frame on a Lemond Tourmalet after 13,000 miles. Trek upgraded free of charge to a partial carbon frame and fork (Chambery). The Chambery is a bike that is twice the price of my orginal purchase so I didn't cry over it.

Then the Chambery frame snapped at an aluminum section after 13,400 miles but Trek replaced it free of charge, frame and fork to a full carbone Madone 4.7. If this full carbon lasts more than 14,000, I'll be happy.

Trek replaced my frames and fork free of charge, free upgrades to better bikes, I have nothing to complain about, it's like getting a new bike every 3 years free of charge.

I did the component swap myself last time. So I spent about $50 max, no biggie!
