Hi all
I could really do woth some advice
I have a ridgeback comet (23" Aluminium Hybrid bike cost 250 pounds) which is 3 years old, it has a
checkered history however.
After 2 years I was riding and discovered that the frame had broken at the droppout. ON
investigation the rear axle had snapped also.
The frame could not be repaired , so Ridgeback provided another frame under warranty, the components
were moved over.
The new bike worked well until after 6 months I discover the rear axle had broken again, this
was repaired.
And then this week, 3 years since buying the original bike,and 1 year into the life of the new frame
I discover that the bottom bracket needs replacing and the the rear axle has snapped again.
I weigh 12 stone and only cycle an; average of less than 20 miles a week over the period.
Whats going on, have I been provided with 2 flawed frames?
BTW I am going to get the frame checked by a bike shop tommorrow, however would like to be
forearmed.
Many thanks
Justin
