How many miles are on your Tarmac S-Works?
I had an '05 that I destroyed a while back and I've been riding the sh*t out of my '07. How long do you think this generic Taiwan over-priced frame will last?

You treat it right it should last for 50,000+ miles; at least I hope it does.
Mine is 2 1/2 months old; 09' SL2 - 3,336 miles

about as long as any other high end overpriced carbon frame...
how many miles/km do you want out of your bike? Even cars only last so long..
I only have 2400 miles on my 08 tarmac SL2 and it's perfect. I have 11,500 miles on a Ti/carbon frame and it's like new..

Explain what happened to your frame that you apparently "destroyed." Then we'll feel bad for you.

I remember your deal......You were removing your BB and it pulled the aluminum threads out. You purchased the frame used but still Specialized gave you a brand new frame. What do they get for there service to you? They get a bashing. Props to you......Tell us...What would it take for you to be a satisfied customer? Oh wait.....Your not even a Specialized customer.........

08 tarmac s-works sl with about 5K on it. My only complaint is a 'soft' feeling in the rear triangle now and then. Seems others on my team have felt the same thing on their Pro model.
