Bad news on my Specialized!
Hi,
I bought a Specialized Roubaix in June. Road about 800 miles in the limited time I have. I dropped it off at my LBS as they offer a "90 day tune" with purchase. My bike guy calls and says there is a crack in the frame! I had no idea! Apparently it's on the seat post and "looks like it got hit by something, there is a chip in the paint and you can almost push your finger through it!" I haven't so much as dropped my bike, let alone been in an accident and if it is not under my ass it is locked in my garage, so it couldn't have been vandalized! I know my bike guy believes me and he says he will do his best to have Specialized send me a new frame. Anyone have any experience with this and/or Specialized? I'm really upset about this as you can tell? He said the worst case scenario is they well offer a "crash replacement discount" of 20% off but that is unacceptable-this is a new bike I did not damage!! Thoughts?
