"We would consider most manufacturing issues to be highlighted within a few weeks of initial build."

See my earlier post about lack of evacuation / incorrect purge / weld contamination.

My Ti career goes sold one cracked one sold one sold one (that later cracked) cracked one. So a mixed bag, but mainly of cracks. Now I’m moving on to cracking carbon frames instead.

I still ride my 22 year old Airborne Lancaster.  Although it started off life as a 26inch mountain....

I have one of those bought the frame off someone on here around 2009... I dont do much MTB nowadays as lost the habit during lockdown and mostly ride gravel on a Camino Ti

Snapped mine many years ago. Cracked at the dropout.
