I went to the shop today to pick up some lube and saw an 02 Enduro for 1299. First of all, is this a good deal, or are there most likely better deals out there. Secondly and most importantly, im aware that the 02 line of enduros were recalled due to a weakspot in the frame. So I went on mtbr and sure enough some people were complaining about that. Does this mean that ALL 02 enduros have this weakspot and are prone to breakage, or did specialized fix the problem and ship out new 02 enduros to the shops?

I ask because I could have enough money fairly quickly to pikc up that bike, but if it is in fact prone to frame failure, I willl definitly put out the extra 400 bucks for the 03 model.
