Ahh, It's gonna be a great day. That simple comment referenced so much history that I had a genuine LOL roflmaoooooooooo moment.

BTW I never commented in that historical thread, but my personal opinion is that if it was a mfr defect during the mfr process, the frame should have been warrantied - even though it was purchased second-hand. If WR would have been in a crash due to that defect, he would have a good case of liability against Trek regardless that it was 2nd hand.

So there the threaded part is glued in to opening then the bb is threaded into it? If thats the case then the there doesn't need to be much area to glue it on too because the bb bearings should let the cranks rotate freely

Both sides are in there. At some point I flipped the frame over and started shooting. They both look the same, just flaked epoxy. No cracks.

Great, now when I show up in an 8 everyone's going to giggle.

No, I'm thinking about selling it with full disclosure.

Correct about the photos. Regarding the Madone, I'm done with it.

Yeah, that's just a flake.

The term is 'bait', like this:

I'd have had better light for the photos, but I recently changed all my extension cord storage to coiled, and I couldn't get any of them untangled in time for the photo shoot.

This is why I didn't post this in the 33. I was hoping you wouldn't call me out for only breaking it loose.

I thought Trek gave a life time warranty, cant it just go back for a replacement? Or am i being a bit nieve on that one?

^He's not original owner. Trek told him to beat it.

Found one!

.

?

Even though it's second hand, maybe you can work something out with Trek. Maybe a discount on a new frame?

That sounds about right.

I agree. WR should just contact Trek about it. I'm sure they will help him out, even though it isn't the original owner. They seem like nice guys.

This is an excellent idea. Keep us updated WR.

Better idea. Who here wants to buy it and work out the non-original-owner warranty with Trek? I'm taking bids.

$10.00 but no more.... Would be a good wall hanger.

Nah, this is a carbon fiber frame, so we need to go high-tech with the repair. Use fiber reinforced strapping tape instead.

I'll give you $10.01

...

Oh, for a minute there I thought you were talking about a frame getting damaged.

Remember, folks: water rockets don't work unless they're topped off with a lot of air.

Good one. That'll teach me

Gorilla Tape. Has a lot higher thread count.

this didn't get damaged. this is a manufacturing flaw. trek should stand by their product.

Am i right, waterrocket?

You are not being "nieve." However, were you to believe that x-bar (the sample mean) were to equal mu (the true population mean), then you would be naïve.

You just need to ***** loudly enough on Twitter/Facebook/internets that they decide it's better to make it a positive story than a "treks break" trend.

Coiled: big mistake.

P.S. your recent head smack certainly hasn't hurt your memory.

Brano Meres can tell you how to fix that, he has done that a few times already.
