you have a defective frame? i told u that would happend. did it break or something?
they've been shipping them out with dents in the headtube and other places. From what I hear, it's the painters that mangled them and then the packaging was hiding the defects.

The fact that Transition is not inspecting every frame before heading out the door is a bit alarming and dishonest, since I can 100% guarantee they've known about this issue for at least a couple of months now. Are they just hoping people won't care, so they don't have to shell out moeny to replace them?

Even scarier, are they sending frames that have been sent back, right around back to other people? The dents don't prevent the frame from being used really, but still not good to have a brand new dented frame,.

This is simply not true.

The most common place for shipping damage is the headtube. I am not aware of any specific incidents, but I don't doubt there have been frames damaged in shipping (IE from us to a shop). The steel integrated headtube is much more likely to be dented than our other, much thicker, headtubes.

If a frame has been damaged in transit we will take care of it - end of story. If you or anyone you know has some kind of issue, please contact me: sam@transitionbikes.com

This seems like a load of bull. I don't know where you are getting your info from but that seems dumb. Mine simply does not allow for an 8" disc and they are being super cool about it and getting me out a new frame.

Nice Joel!

I have 90% great things to say about my 07 Covert. It's done everything Kevin said it would and more. I definately would like to know if the new bike is "that" much better though. Especially with a Hammerschmidt on it.
