It is true that I joined the forum this morning to gripe about my speed concept experience, but I do have a fair amount of cycling experience. This was my first tri/tt bike, but I have owned several high end road and mountain bikes in the past without ever experiencing a non repairable drivetrain issue. I guess that your (and others) previous post warning people about the cradle bolts failing, and considering selling your speed concept and moving on was not posted to deter people from purchasing a speed concept. As with you I love the ride of my SC. Its fast, smooth and responsive. I will have an option to replace the frame with carbon care, and am considering my options. My post was to let everyone know about my experience... maybe DON'T BUY was a bit harsh but no one from the club I ride with has seen such a catastrophic drivetrain problem happen before outside of a crash. I took the frame to a carbon repair shop and they said that they have seen this problem with speed concepts before. They offered to repaired the frame for $2800 as they need to fabricate a custom mould for the rear triangle to bond in a new dropout.
