Having recently discovered a crack in my frame, and the frame still within its warranty, I returned it to the shop I bought it from and they contacted Giant who have sent them a replacement frame.
No problems so far. I received a call from shop to say I can pick up my bike today ( they kindly swapped the bits over to the new frame).
My concern is that according to the shop the frame is different in colour to my original. The original was a 2007 frame, and according the the shops description the replacement is 'black with silver writing'.
After a look on the Giant archive it appears I have being given a frame in the 2006 styling .
If I was given a new frame in the 2008 styling I would have felt better about it.
It just seems to me like a bit of a downgrade ( the 2006-2008 frames are physically identical though) .
I am picking it up this morning and wonder if I should make my feelings know to the guys at the shop, or am I being an ungrateful nobhead ?
