taking a shit with my boobs out
I tried to remember what it sounded like before pressing play... I was way out, was thinking of a game loading on an old Commodore, Spectrum or Amstrad.

Even with the "Fast Loader Cartridge" fitted to the Commodore you still had time to prepare a 3 course meal while the game loaded.

Yeah, we're one step closer to being caught up in a captured market.

Are Canondale frames still made in the USA?

Might be why they don't crack so much anymore? But doesn't really support their belief in them being a premium brand....

PON Bikes bought out Dorel Sports back in October, for about $800m. So they now own Cannondale, GT, (Schwinn & Mongoose).
Considering they already own Focus, Cervelo and Santa Cruz, they have just paid nearly $1billion for another three warranty headaches.

Interesting, you mean I can do my current job but with bikes? Sounds so much easier!

Before qutting your current job, may I suggest a work placement in your LBS for...lets say...three days... That should be ample time to encouarge you to stay well away from the world of cycling warranties.... "I was just riding along, and the frame snapped".....JRA.

I dunno man, when u charge $4k for a carbon frame made by low South China wages one frame probably covers 10+ replacements. It’s genius.

Just wait until next year's bikes get released....
Good time for NBD now if you're considering. If you can find one.

Customers are customers, but a bike is a lot more simple than a hybrid diesel-electric bus!

Yeti...Cannondale...Trek...Scott....Focus...etc...etc...
The last Yeti I had (and the last one I will ever buy) was the very first generation of the new ASR XC bike. Pulled the frame out of the box, popped the fork and wheels in and instantly noticed a big wobble in the reat end. Took the linkages and bearing s out and with trusted vernier in hand, found that the bearings were slopping about in the carbon insets like a pencil in a loo roll....quick call to Rowneys... "oh yeah, sorry about that, they've messed up at the carbon factory and none of them fit. But dont worry, they are remaking new rear triangles and we'll have you one within a month or so, until then...don't ride it"...FFS.
I was visiting a mate who owned a 4wd accessories franchise a few years back. He and a couple of the sales people were watching some video on a phone. It was a Ranger that they had fitted a lift kit to. It was jumping over sand dune after sand dune, on Moreton if I recall. Literally 10 mins later same Ranger pulled up in the carpark. Owner complaining new suspension cracked the chassis. No sir, just driven to the shops, haven't been off road yet, not overloaded. Oh, so this isn't you? Numberplate clearly visible.

No doubt. But I suspect you dont get too mnay bus owner coming into you and telling you what's wrong with their bus, becasue they "googled" it. And their mate, who has been driving buses since Easter, says that it's a definate warranty....

Buses, not so much - Trucks, every-fuckin'-day.
"I need a new light control module because I've got a headlight out"
"Have you checked the headlight globes?"
"No, it won't be that. My mate had a headlight out the other day and he replaced the LCM and it fixed it."
"Are you sure it's not just a globe?"
"I know what I need, I just told you my friend has the same thing."
"I can sell you an LCM, but they're ~$1000, and can't be returned if they've been fitted."
"Just get it."
2 hours later:
"Hi, I want to return this LCM, it didn't fix my headlight."
"How do you know it didn't fix the problem?"
"I fitted it and the headlight's still out. That's why I want to return it. It was just a headlight globe blown."
"Unfortunately, as we discussed earlier - I cannot take this back."
"Why not?"
