I would hope they would replace the frame for free and do the labor to switch all of the components for free also. But these days it really is hard to say.
What happens, depends partly on the dealer, if the company does not include the labour
1) The dealer eats the cost of labour, because it's a way to keep a customer.
2) The dealer offers to take the old bike (including the new frame) in trade on a new bike, that and the discounts on 2007 models on the floor can leave you out very little money.
3) The dealer leaves you to cover the labour costs. If the dealer isn't able to help you out, at least a little, I would collect my bike and new frame, then either do a build project, or part it out on fleabay or CL.
