sorry to bang on about nicolai but i think their 5 yr warranty is valid even if bikes are used for racing…..do others offer this?
I hear this remark about racing a fair bit too and I’m interested in this as, how would the manufacturer ever actually know if the damage ocurred in a race or if you had raced on the frame at all? Genuine question.
After you buy the frame, someone from Nicolai then follows you round for life so they can see what you get up to with it.
It’s included in the price.
