...Also, some may have missed my earlier post in which I said I already had an accident on the Renegade due to a poor approach angle to a ramp - knocked the chain loose and it scratched the frame a bit, but no real damage - and certainly no "assplosion" - based on examination by two different LBS's. It did tumble dramatically though.
Thanks. I am looking for long term reviews from someone bigger (I weigh 230 lbs and have broken
a lot of frames) on those carbon frames then maybe I will start saving my pennies.
