I remember hearing that the frames had a short life.
Yes, i heard that too and was confirmed when i asked a local bike shop how the warranty was on the Sc frames. Kona at the time offered a one year warranty, and Rocky Mountain didn't offer one for their frame. I guess it's got a shorter life than highend aluminum frames (Easton Ultralite Tubing). Too bad..the Rocky Team Scandium bike was around 21lbs and it had a bomber fork, raceface stem/seatpost/bar and Shimano wheels (low spoke ones) on it. Imagine that w/ a SID Race, Easton CT2, and some CrossMax wheels..umm..19.5lbs? muahahahha *drool*
