I used to work in bike shops and back in the early 90's one was a Schwinn shop. I think that the lifetime warrenty should be ok for people doing normal day to day riding. I don't expect them to cover the CAAD 7 if I crash it. I plan to race this bike and they should no be expected to cover it if it breaks due to what I am using it for. Now a crack at a weld or at a badly machined area they should cover. The most shop owners and certainly the bike engineers can tell if a frame has failed due to abuse or a manufacturing problem. I've mainly ridden steel in the past, but I think that this is going to be a sweet ride. All I have to do is sell that darn car. Anyone looking for a 96 Civic. LOL
