I think it has been resolved and the new frames are shipping.
Are you sure that they resolved it that quick..huh??? Considering the recall was issued on 11/12
Just curious, why wouldn't you consider the Antherm 29er?
Isn't Giant doing a recall on their 29ers? Something about a crack if I recall correctly.
