I'm glad they've been good to you. And I'm hoping $10,000 is an exaggeration! Unless you've got the carbon-fiber/unobtanium version of the Novato.
I'm also not 100% sure if getting the exact frame is a good or bad thing. It's extremely good that you don't need to change any parts. But you did break 2 of those frames already, right? I hope this one lasts longer!
