Give in to temptation Jase. I did! Plus do it now and you get a sweet price on your frame. Hard to say no, really.

It is implicitly implied that warranty is longer than a year…

I have to ask - if it’s implied, why can’t you make it explicit?

I’m not questioning your trustworthiness, I’m just saying that implications with regards to warranty is not reassuring to any customer. I would suggest either making it 1 year, or making it 3 years, or making it 5 years, and having set terms and conditions for those periods.

There is inevitably going to be someone who will crash their bike and try and say that it was damaged due to defects in materials or construction.  
I am attempting to discourage this behaviour.  
I effectively cover the bike for defects in materials or construction for as long as is nessecary, but I do not want people to take advantage of this if they abuse their bike, you can break anything if you mean enough to it.

Fair enough. Wouldn’t it be better to just make it 3 or 5 years and put stringent terms and conditions saying you reserve the right to refuse warranty claims if there appears to be evidence of misuse / external damage?

Up to you I guess. In my opinion a warranty needs to be clear cut and the terms and conditions need to be precise down the the finest detail.

Having said that, if I ever find myself with some extra cash I will be employing your services 🙂

And you can do so safe in the knowledge that I back my frames 110%

I remember when TRAFIK did this and they had some person unliking and liking there page again just to get a DVD/Sticker or two. Im sure it won’t happen with your page.

Congrats on opening up, I don’t have enough $ to order a custom frame yet but if I ever want one built up one I know where to go / who to speak to.

Well done on the start-up. We need more artisans and less Mojo.

Also, recommend that you set up a twitter account alongside you FB page so you can occasional post pics of your projects. Good way to spread the word.

May well do, but I just enjoy riding them so much!

There is something in the works for a bit of a launch party/ exhibition, keep your ears to the ground if you are around the Canberra region
