Trouble free or not? (A warranty poll)

I was out riding with the guys from my LBS last night and two of the riders in the bunch were currently attempting to make a claim for a new frame under warranty. This got me wondering whether I could get a feel for the general reliability of our 'trusty' steeds. So, I'd like to pose a question or two to anyone out there who is interested.

Have you had to make a warranty claim for problem with a Road bike frame in the last three years?

What was the make of the bike?

Was your claim successful?

Are you a heavy or hard rider?

I'll start the ball rolling:

Van Nicholas Euros (titanum) - Warranty claim - Successful (owned for 2 years)
Specialized Tarmac (carbon) - Warranty claim - Sucessful (owned for 1.5 years)
Specialized S-Works Tarmac (carbon) - No warranty claim (Owned for 3 years)
Van Nicholas Astraeus (titanium) - No Warranty claim (owned for 6 months)

In other words, 50% of my frames have been trouble free (so far)
I would not classify myself as a heavy or hard rider.

Ok, let's see what we get :?:

    A friend of mine has had 3 Scott Addicts. Nout wrong with the frame, he just can't stay up right when racing. Still got them under warranty though.

    Yep.

    Had a Giant MTB and snapped that. Had a new frame within the week.
