Has any one had any trouble getting a Gary Fisher cracked frame replaced. I bought it in 2007 and the frame cracked today. Bought it (WiFi) at Cyclesport in Aiken but I don't think Shireen is a Trek/GF dealer any more. This is the 2nd GF cracked frame. I also had a Trek road frame replaced.

GF had lots of experience warranting frames because every single one from that era broke haha, I'm surprised yours lasted this long.
But, GF Bikes no longer exists, so I'm not sure how they are handling them now. I imagine Trek will take care of you though, they're good with warranty issues. Let us know how it goes, and good luck!

I would assume that like with any other buyout, Trek assumed GF's liabilities too.

I cracked a Fisher frame a couple of years ago and was very happy with the results from the warranty claim. Outspokin is the local Trek dealer and is who I dealt with. You should be golden as long as you're the original owner. Good luck!

Earlier this year I had a crack in the swing arm of my 2011 HiFi. Trek replaced it, but it's from a superfly 100 pro. The color doesn't match, but the geometry is the same. Fortunately I was still under labor warranty at the shop so I didn't have any out of pocket expense (other than travel to Asheville).

I got a bunch of money from TREK and put a little extra with it. I get my new bike on Tuesday. If it quits raining I might be able to ride it.
