Also, the customer is supposed to pick up the tab on labor, which would come to about $150 where I work.
Fortunately I have other bikes I can train and race on. It will end up costing me a bottom bracket and headset and the labor to install these.
I took the frame to the shop today. It will be a week or more before I get a response from Trek's warranty department, but the guys at the shop were almost 100% sure it would be covered and I would be getting a new frame.
