Just because a pro-team is paid to ride on a certain manufacturer's frames, does not make the frames faultless, nor are the riders all happy about riding them. You may call me a cynic, but there are reasons why some frames have been re-badged to keep the riders happy.
As for another true Dogma incident, my old cycling partner, <170 lbs., just sent back his dogma after the welds cracked!!! Is that worth the $7000? This is not the first time I've heard of this happening to the Dogma; I've scratched it off my short list. He's now on a six13 Cannondale.
