Fortunately, there may not be that many to recover. The hate is strong.

Hmmm. So that's pretty clear about the sales volume. Not exactly a homerun.... and 0.7 percent of them have had serious version of that rear triangle problem... undoubtedly more, like one in photos that has popped up in forums with a lot of clear coat damage, have had incidents that didn't get out of hand.
Wonder exactly what it is about that dropout?
An LBS I know well told me that there was a 60% increase in failed or warrantied Spesh frames during the last coule of years.
To be fair in the last couple of years their sales increased as well.

Seeing that picture I wouldn't be worried about the wheel slipping but for paying that sum for such a poorly built frame.
