I'll be testing the waters of a frame replacement on my Kestrel RT1000. I took my bike to the LBS for new handlebar tape and a wheel truing and the mechanic discovered a small longitudinal crack in the seat tube. I'll be going through drawers to find my original 5 YO receipt and calling ASI / Performance on Monday. I tried to call the 800 customer service number on the Performance website but there's no answer. I was thinking of buying a new bike with the thought I would have 2 what was I thinking? Now I have to get a frame replaced or wait until next year since every mfr. of bikes only ever makes 2 bikes in the largest size and they get purchased in February. Oh well
