Holy mother of fuc k!!!Yes, it should be covered by the warranty! Did you purchase the frame from flatlandfuel? It's cheaper to ship directly to Spain instead to the U.S., but (in case you purchased from FF) you need to get in touch with Pat and Suelo.

WHen is regular riding considered an "accident" Getting hit by a truck is an accident. If your GM failed during regular driving YES they would repair or replace it. Poor analogy.

again: dragstrip is considered "off-road" so it is not considered regular use.If you are flatlanding on a flatland bike isnt that using the implement for what its intended? Wheres the accident in that? Accidents are unexpected and falling in flatland is expected. So is falling in flatland an accident?I'm not trying to start anything but the legal jargon can be confusing and I want everyone to be fully aware of what is said and what is implied and what is meant.

Is that frame really heat treated?
Quote from: byke on August 24, 2008, 07:15:11 PMBased on the pictures and design, I personally dont think it was heat treated or it was heat treated wrong.http://www.suelobmx.com/cuadroeng.htm

Quote from: byke on August 24, 2008, 07:32:59 PMI fully understand that suelo may think it was heat treated, but since they outsource production and generally only do the blueprints there are some areas where they have absolutely no knowledge if it was made as specified or if it was heat treated properly and since its such a precision technique it seems fully plausible from the photos shown that the frame was part of a batch of frames which were constructed wrong.So you imply that no heat-treated bike part was actually heat-treated after welding, or what?Suelo/FlyBikes, WTP, Ares, KHE, a Bad Thing, etc., all these companies have their stuff made in Taiwan. It's one hundred goddamn motherfuc king percent heat-treated. Get in your mind! PLEAASSEEE! Do you really think they put the stuff in the sun for like ten minutes and then say "hey, it's heat-treated!"? Would be cool tho! K, not for us....BTW, these companies aren't any third world backyard companies.
