They merely stalled me until the warranty expired with a song and dance about a guy in Florida handling their parts.Once the warranty expired they stopped answering my emails. I had 3 chinese frames and 2 needed parts or work. Totally not worth the risk.

Let's see...I've got 2 FM028s, 2 FM029s, and a new TT frame to be built...
Very few issues, nothing I couldn't handle myself...
Been very happy with the quality and the ride, they are a viable option if you enjoy working on your own stuff and have a bit of patience...It's not all bad
