I suspect it would but cannondale and leisure lakes never bothered to get back to me!
My White prophet is starting to look tatty and after the winter i am sure will be even tattier - by then she will be 2 years old (longest i have ever had a bike!!)
I am under the impression that dale do a lifetime frame warranty, is this true? If so i will live with it looking ****y and leave as is, if not - powder coating here i come!

'dale do offer lifetime warranties and powder coating prolly will knacker your warranty. BigNick did his old Hustler and then it cracked and Cove wouldn't warranty it cos of the powder coating.

My black Prophet still looks excellent, so gawd knows what you've been doing unless you're a perfectionist.

Mainly is is scratches from various bike racks and with it being white it shows on areas of wear (e.g. top tube)
