Sorry about this generic question guys..

I've just got a 2010 714 and I would like to know if this bike has been subjected to the very popular and spreaded frame cracks of the 514 model.
I should have got another bike but my dealer made me an unbelivable offer for this 2010 NOS model... :P

Kind regards
Andrew :P

    erm, not that ive heard of, its been a few of the 514's, and not half as many as have been rumoured!!! incomparison to number of bikes sold the number on forums with issues are tiny!

    ive not heard of any 714's with issue's, Stunning bike though! Very envious!!!

    Thank you my friend

    I already own a X control 910 and I was actually looking for a 514 to avoid spending too much cash on a secondary bike ( I'm a 100% XC guy),but I was feeling in the air that I would be ended up with a 714.....bloody dealer tempted me too much with the price and no more 514's were available :twisted:
