Warranty is a consideration if the warranty is worth more than the paper it iswritten on. But the saving would pay for many warranty shipments back to Italy. So that is the flip side of that coin. I personally wonder how many warranty claim would there be with a Steel Luugged Frame & Fork?

BTW I hear Richard Schwin don't honor warranty claims very well, this was told me by a LBS who dropped dealing with Waterford & Gunnar. But then I had zero way to verify this information. So that is rumor or one person expierence.

I know back in the 1990's TREK did honor warranty claims on early OCLV broken wishbones, then they corrected the design fault, and the problem went away. But my friend had a OCLV Problem, Trek sent a new frame but the dealer still charged him labor on the parts swap. IMHO Trek should have payed for that.
