glad your lads ok but lets be honest here thats real bad quality that. reasons for buying se and other good brands is so you dont have to worry about problems.
 you will get a replacement no problem. the sale of goods act protects you what ever the reason as its not fit for purpose

Whoa  :shocked: please pass on my  :daumenhoch: to Izaak on an ace frame snap, glad he's ok, Alans will stand on for this, they wont have a problem in claiming from SE, lay it on thick though, a family trip with bandaged arm (with an appointment with Alan himself) would be the best bet. Hope it works out. :daumenhoch:
Whats the matter Kid, don't ya like clowns? Don't we make you laugh? Aint we fukkin funny?

the life of a ali frame isnt as long as a cr-mo frame ,pros change there ali frames many times in a year , i dont use my bike that often so ive never broke a ali frame yet, but generaly i prefere good old 4130  :daumenhoch: it last forever  ;) thats a bad snap ,it must of been a big crash ,the old rippers broke just as easy though ,infact im sure older rippers arnt as over engineered as modern ali frames  :laugh: send it back  :daumenhoch:

Izaak has snapped his ripper frame today (by literally breathing softly on it according to him) but it is only 5 months old so is it likely to be under warrenty? Or is that it and we are buying a new one :(

Phil says that because it is aluminium it might not be?  :-\



So they are still snapping, even to this day :-\ :-\ :'(

Glad to hear your boy is ok,that break could have done serious damage. :(
Any shop should have no problem accepting a claim within warranty period,the manufacturer has to pick up the cost not the shop.
If you just take it back & raise some hell,you'll get a new one or a different brand & probably some other stuff.

I was gonna offer you this til I saw you got a new one,I just got it built a few weeks ago.
You couldn't break it by throwing it off a 10 story building,let alone a little kid jumping with it. ;D

Just to update you that Izy is fine, no break just a bad sprain.

His new frame just left customs in the uk today which is good as he is going stir crazy without a bike and Phil will not let him near any of his! ;D
We went for walk round a park today and he was most put out and said it was a waste of a day of his life as he could have been riding! The cheek! Anyway Epic is fast approaching so hopefully all will be ready for then.

Alans have sent the snapped frame back to the manufacturers and we will see what they say :-\

Ahhh...no, it would be being sold on to cover cost of new frame which was a v. good deal despite customs adding their cut  :knuppel2:
