IH have this trick where they dent frames, fill it bondo, and then paint it. No one would ever find out, so it's fine.

Unless you repaint the frame, like a certain forum admin, and find a huge wad of bondo filling a big ole dent right near the seat/top tube junction of your frame.

An alleged inside line was posted on MTBR a while ago: http://forums.mtbr.com/showthread.ph...ght=iron+horse.

funny, IH probably isn't the first company to do use good old bondo. Just the first to get caught and ousted on here. One reason why raw colored frames are nice, you know they are perfect and the company that produces them has a quality control department. (not saying that all companies who only do painted frames don't have QC).

they did, they are bringing in, dimond back, to replace the iron horse, and k2 bikes that have been frozen in factories. it is defently not the best thing for sportscheck though, none of the frames can be warrentied as they now have any to give. if a bike comes back it is coming out of their pocket.
