frames will break. i'm sure even the "best" companies
have had frames fail on customers. yeah, it sucks that
they didn't paint it, that was definately bad on their part.

i've had no problems with my rush and i haven't heard
of anyone who has had a problem with the rush. (this is
a road frame i presume)

anyways, i think its funny that one guy's frame breaks
and people start writing in this forum, 'oh, i won't buy
those damn soma frames now'. that doesn't seem to
happen in the case of good old crack-n-fail.
