Never heard of em.What do they do?
marketing
good thread
all marketing, all the time!
"two weeks"
patiently, quietly waiting.
I've been spending a lot of time on the remedy so I don't even miss the revolt, but it would be nice to get a warranty frame soon.
rainguage and I have a semi-occouring email where we ask each other if the other has any news or updates.

theyre not still saying its okay to ride are they??
January eh?? thats well over a year for you right?
Wait, people are seriously still waiting on warranty frames from like a year or 2 ago?
This is how you win customers, huh? Here come the butthurt fanboys with a vacant, dead behind the eyes protest of how awesome evil is.
So were the original frames just poorly designed or something? I somehow missed all the drama.
Got a warranty frame, then it broke.
Waiting on the carbon one..
Tell me what else I should do...? A refund isn't an option. So just forget about the $3500au I spent on the frame...?
Ill take anything they offer... Sooner or later they will have to get something right! My current revolt I think is worse than my first!

I have said this a bunch in the other threads but I really do want to see evil do well, as a past owner of a few of the first gen frames the company has a bit of nostalgia for me (regardless of ownership). It really sucks for everyone waiting on warranty frames but this sh1t can happen when you are dealing with suppliers...
Hopefully they are planning to get some press out soon on the undead and the other bikes we have been hearing about for a few years...
They should be communicating more via the site - not sure why that isnt happening.

Due to their declining reputation and repeated poor press they have seeked advice from a industry consultant. At this point it has been determined that the only way to save the company and secure future sales is to change the brand name with hopes of starting fresh. There have been several business meetings with all players involved and a re-launch is scheduled for early spring.
Expect big things from the new carbon frame this season under a new headtube badge.
Welcome the new and improved Undead by............LAHAR!!!!

A good friend of mine has been told "two more weeks" countless times. He wound up having to buy a used Yeti and now uses his old revolt frame as a cowbell at downhill races 
there is a recent interview with markus stoeckl on youtube (on german). apparently he's trying to buy evil...
lawsuit
That'll be the perfect way to **** all warranty claim owners. New owners rarely honor previous debt.
aye, small claims before they declare bankruptcy. You can probably squeeze out enough cash of them to buy a replacement frame, though maybe not the full amount you paid. They can't survive forever, sponsoring a race team but selling no products.... ???? You may have to travel though to do a successful claim, not sure how that works.
Steve Jobs is rattling the casket with laughter right now.
I agree dump - good call.
it will be a real shame if they change up the name.

The Revolt looked brilliant too.
Edit: I didn't start this thread to bash Evil, just to see what was going on. It's slow season here now.
youre not worried already??
how long have you been out of a frame?
Why worry? It's not like I can do much about it.
I found the cracks in mine over a year ago. If evil doesn't straighten things out I'll go back to the shop and work something out.
It's too bad this is what happened to the company, but from what i've heard, it's partly their fault. The factory that makes the frames also makes other high end dh frames and where the other high end companies had an employee check every frame to make sure alignment was perfect, evil didn't. That's why all those frames are just sitting around. it sucks it happened, but they should have had someone checking the frames like the other companies.
They should take the failframes and have no pedal gravity races with them. Whoever makes it to the bottom wins.
Are you implying that you're gonna have to barge into Evil headquarters with a boom stick to get a new frame?
Awaiting news about their new All Mountain : Uprising
