My Taiwanese Diamondback frame has no BB drainholes either. It's pretty common actually. I guess they figure most road bike riders don't ride in the rain. I do ALL the time. Riding every day in Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington means what, 200 days per year of rain riding.

The really interesting thing is that I'll consider a custom frame builder who works primarily with steel to be somewhat inexperienced/negligent if he constructs a steel frame without weep holes. The big bicycle companies working primarily with carbon should incorporate weep holes into their designs.

Drain holes are so rare these days I think it's prudent to drill your own or take other measures. Rear mudguard helps a LOT and has other benefits, like not having your shorts feel like a full diaper on rain rides.

Although rather than drill a drain hole (particularly in a carbon BB), I'd just make sure water can't get inside the frame. I wouldn't use gobs of grease, I'd use this stuff. It's what I have filling the holes in my water bottle bosses instead of bolts.
Think we might have a new meme on our hands to rival the roadies' GUADS?

From this point forward, I think I shall consider every possible warranty issue to be a "suck", and any denied warranty claim to be a "funny report".

Better check my Tommasini...
I don't ride it in the rain, but at my age I just might pee in my pants.
