Has anyone seen or heard of this? I bought the bike last week from Evans and i rode it yesterday for the 1st time, the ride was nothing harsh or excessive, merely trundling around the sherwood forest fire roads.

Think Lapierre are overated anyway,I test rode a 2010 Zesty 314 and wasn't that shot away with it and now with frame issues glad i didn't go with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Of course just my opinion which doesn't account for much!!.0 -
