I would deny that claim as user caused. Get a proper size frame next time.
Now you see why there's zero at any LBS I want to buy. Changing the crank 1x to 2x is correct but still laughable. Find a bare frame.
Yesterday I saw a YT video suggestion, "Was 1x a mistake? LOL.
Looking at the ADV.1 ad they also show a 6" post on a medium, with a shortie head tube. LOL Nuts.
This does show a triple, is that on the new one?
Tourist in MSN should trade his yellow Thorn bike sitting idle, because it's 'Too heavy" LOL.
Not his fault. Modern sloping-top-tube frames necessitate a long seatpost unless you want a high stack height at the handlebars, but then the frame overall is too large with too long a top tube. This is one of the reasons I prefer a LEVEL top tube within traditional sizing, or perhaps an upsloping top tube with tall head tube, for what used to be called a "hybrid" bike with more upright posture than typical racer or tourer.
