BMC Warranty question - warped frameset.
I received my new BMC Time Machine TM01 frameset yesterday. It was pretty hot today and I left it in my car and I believe it warped. Is that covered under warranty or do I need to buy a new frameset?

They will warranty it if you get back to them in TIME.

So did you spend 12K on this one? 
Nice bike -- I assume it's replacing the TT02?

I think I like the shot from the rear drop-out best.
So...with the frame warped like that how will it affect cornering?

A fisheye picture of bike wheels seems like it would turn out pretty cool.

I believe the wheels are warped enough they should work alright with the frame. Glad I left them in my car today as well.

Bet you can get some wide tyres in the frame now! Nice fish eye lens work, what kind of camera are you shooting?

That fish tank is almost as ubiquitous in your bike porn shots as Pcad's bench. You should incorporate it more.

the wheels pic looks like it belongs in the trailer for the new Batman movie. Dayum son. I expect top quality pics of the build like your past builds. Good stuff.

Yeah that frame is trashed, same with the wheels. Best to throw them in the dumpster down the street, preferably one that is near my house.
Sick frame man! Post some BF approved pics once you build it up. Do you have any idea on what components you are going to use? The Sram Red crank would look nice with the frame...
