[QUOTE="ajaf1656, post: 16593607, member: 196707"] As a bike mechanic, I never saw a mountain bike frame break from being used as intended. I saw plenty of comfort, hybrid and BMX frames break from abuse or neglect. The worst thing was when people stored their bikes in a shed with all of their pool chemicals. But having to deal with a lifetime warrantee is when the big bike brands are awesome. With the big name brands, I could give them a call and have a new frame on it's way to the shop in less than 5 minutes. I don't know how many are still that easy to deal with, some of those big name companies have faded to near obscurity now. The coolest warrantee I ever saw honored was when a customer saw a thief throw his bike in the bed of a truck and drive off. The customer jumped in his own truck, chased the guy down and pulled a pit maneuver on the thief. The bike was ejected and destroyed in the crash. They sent a new frame. Haha [/QUOTE]
