shop i got it from said to send it back, they will replace it. in the meantime, i am trying to get a replacement frame. i was on it a little today, but i can hear a sound every time im on the saddle, out of the saddle no noise, so i think its time to stop riding it.

trying to see the timeline for a Ax-lightness vial evo.

I'd ask for a refund if I were you and buy something else. I had a BuraSL develop a crack by the rear stays and the warranty replacement cracked on the left hand side of the headtube. Didn't bother getting another and used the money to buy a Specialized which as been fine ever since.

In Neil Prydes defense, Mike Pryde was great throughout the whole thing so their customer service cannot be faulted.
