As recommended, look at UNOFFICIAL sources for more information. Their most likely is/was a design flaw concerning their bikes. And NOT ALL MODELS have been disclosed/listed.
Do you know of any customer(s) that have reported a frame problem with their 2nd or 3rd gen bike? You can tell because the owner will mention the date or time frame they bought the bike and in every case I have seen it was before the 2nd/3rd gen models were out. Maybe there were some problems with 2nd or 3rd gen frames who knows all I'm saying is I have never seen it reported anywhere. Do you know of any specific cases?
