Well, sort of. I twisted my Fuji Roubaix frame. I had it in the lbs the other day to have the rear wheel checked, and the mechanic saw that the frame was out of alignment. He said I was just too powerful for the frame. I am a monster.

I should have an 04 Roubaix frame in a couple weeks.

Sure you trust it? Or is this a warranty fix?

A warranty fix. The bike is just over a year old.

how heavy are you?

is that an all-steel frame, or does it have carbon stays?

I'm big, the bike's aluminum, Fuji's X-Fusion main triangle. I'm not sure what kind of aluminum the seat and chain stays are. The replacement frame may be the 04 Roubaix, which is a different (heavier?) aluminum and has carbon seat stays.

170lbs is pretty light. I doubt if an aluminum frame bike would fail if you're 170lbs. I'm 210lbs and my aluminum bike holds up to some heavy riding.
