that's a pretty cool offer.

edit - though the fate of the previous paint-peeling rear could be the same for that swingarm/frame, if from the same painting batch...

I have a blue Moto of the same vintage as yours hanging on my ceiling. Brand new and never ridden. If it is the same size as yours (mine is a small) I will swap it for your current frame with the polished rear at no charge. I'll do this to make a Titus customer happy.

yes it is a nice offer, thank you - I pm'd you at mtbr - something similar to what Narlus pointed out though.

Worrying about paint...on a mountain bike ?????? If you ride it, it's gonna get scraped up no matter what. Getting the run around is inexcusable, however I don't see the big deal here.

F.W.I.W. I've got that same exact frame - it rides just as well now as it did 10 months ago when it was shiny and new.

My anodized frame doesn't flake and look like ****. MTB or not, I appreciate a durable finish.

remeber that one Monkey who bought a bike not intended for how he wound up using it for? ..

I believe that was Ironhorse and they did so at absolutely no obligation to them at all. The kid was so clearly in the wrong, yet they still helped him out. Super cool if you ask me.

Yeah, that was some excellent service. They ended up hooking him up with an equal value burly hardtail if I remember correctly.

Awesome offer up above. If nothing else, it shows a generous and worthwhile shop, even if MBC doesn't take them up on it.

Nah. MizDNA wanted the camera to take pictures at school of the leafblower hovercraft that they made.

Trip was ok. It was good to hang with the TN twins, but I lost 5 hours on Sat. at the Wal-mart in F-ville waiting for a tire to get fixed. I did get one great DH run in on Sunday. Ya gotta try it once. Borrow Aaron's 7 point once next time for a run. You'll get hooked.

That sucks. A company should never go back on their word or make you wait that long for any form of help.

the ball is in MBC's court now....

will she keep the polished rear and ride with pride?

will take up Slarts on his generous offer?

will she upgrade to a non-painted ExoGrid MotoLite?

will she sell everything and buy a Turner?

will IRB pop another brew and watch MBC repair the hardwood floors?

My idea was to replace the dog. She slobbers so much when she drinks that half the water from her bowl splashes onto the floor. Over two years, the floors around her water bowl are starting to look worn. BAD DOG.
