First frame lasted nearly a season, before the lower DW-link attachment (aluminum sleeve) dis-bonded in the front triangle. Took 3 weeks, but got a replacement front triangle from Pivot. Actually stripped the frame clean, brought to LBS, they shipped it out to Pivot, they replaced it and sent back. Kind of a pain and inconvenience...

Well... this new frame now has a crack down by the lower shock mount (ear) after 2 months (since last warranty replacement).

This is probably my favorite bike, but the experience is being soured...
