There's a blue and white one I know of that had a crack in it...
Or was it just a crack in the paint afterall?

Research!
Lifetime warranty on workmanship, 5 years on materials, don't quite understand that but it's attractive.

they steel ones ride superbly.
easy enough to get repaired if you did manage to crack one.
they also so do a steel jump bike(beatstick) if your that way inclined.Posted 1 year ago # -
Nope
Mine did 3 years of Alps/Peak district riding without a hitch (well the paint chips reasonably easily).
But then I only weigh 9 stone. It's still going strong (7 years now), but I don't really choose it for the tough rides these days as it's still only got 80mm forks on it.Posted 1 year ago # -
The paint is standard two pack car paint, so I'm not surprised it chips easy. I've looked into that, and I paint cars in my business, I think they use it because it's the best material for fancy paint finishes, where as powder and stove enamel doesn't quite mask/two tone/ graphic so compliantley, and with such finesse.
I like the way they seal off the tubes except the seat, and they cavity wax that, so if you look after the outside all should be well - I suppose.
