Be careful if you ever do get a chance to ride an Ellsworth, they are addicting. Click on my signature to see my new Truth. As for the warranty they definately do not have a good reputation on their frames from 2003 and before. They haven't really had any issues since mid 2003 though.
Oh yeah, I run SRAM on my $5,000 bike and I love it!
