I have a Klein Attitude Comp Disc 2001.
I love the bike, it so light its perfect for me (140 lbs). However... The frame is starting to get worn already, I'm wondering if anyone has any expirience with Klein Warranties (I read other threads, I know many of you do). Can I get a big dent like this covered? The funny thing is, as you can see it only has light scratched on it, and not at the center of it. PLUS I don't even know when/how it happened, I was just washing the lady one day and felt it with my hand ans was like :eek: . I've never had any major spills on this bike, just the occasional technical fall-over.
Also on my mind, was switching from the Attitude to Adept if I do get it covered, either working something out with my local shop, or selling it myself on ebay brand new.

THE PICS of my frame are located here...

I believe the dent is on the down tube correct? If it is the down tube is in tension and the top tube is in compression so if it was the top tube it would crumple but since it's the down tube you should be fine for a while yet.
No company will warrenty a dent cause that is your fault only manufacturing defects.
With Giant and C-dale i know that if you get a big dent like that you get a simputhy warrenty which means you get a huge amount off the price of the frame but you still have to pay.:monkey:
