Anyone know of any threads about Trek refusing to honour warranties? I can't find them?

I think they're under the same section as Rocking Horse Poo...(rare as)

^ Obviously your Google skills aren't too clever?

Search for Madone seat mast failures and BB cracks - you'll find as few threads on Bikeradar with tales of woe.

I had one that snapped at the drive-side chainstay. But apart from actually breaking it was OK.

Oh my god, what a tedious bloke I bet he goes on just the same about his company car.

Anyway, I'm not interested in trying to convert people to Trek, they aren't the only brand in the world after all, and I seem to have become a Giant owner after my test ride :shock:

Good lad!

I don't like Treks because their geometry doesn't suit me.

For the money you pay the frames aren't as stiff, or as light as the competition. Cervelo, Giant, Cannondale all make lighter, stiffer bikes.

My SuperSix is cheaper, stiffer and the same weight than the top of the range Trek 6.9.

As a brand they killed the Lemond brand as well. A lot of the so claimed money they have made, they made it through the wins of a cheat, the cancer of the sport. That is not libelous, it is fact.

In any case there are better cheaper bikes you can buy.
