Yeah, and I think the recall will extend to just their frames as well. Can you imagine buying a frame and spending a year or more building a custom just to have to tear it down because of a bad weld? Ouch!

I believe the problem started when their brought their frame building in-house. Previous to a couple years ago, they were farmed out. I guess they needed to train their fabricators a bit better... now it's gonna' COST them. I don't see how they'll be able to stay afloat. The recall number is closing on 1000 bikes.
