Mine only had about 15K miles on it when it cracked. Trek was good about it but they didn't have a steel road bike anymore and they offered me a 1400 or something and I didn't want it so they gave me store credit. The shop had a lightly used Landshark frame for sale and I got it out the door for $150, including transferring all the parts.
