October 5, 200916 yr Pity you are not here, I would give you one of mine just for the welding practice! Most work, some are beauties! Others require a bit of grinding! Reguardless, all need a bit of paint, find some! You will need it!
October 5, 200916 yr TWI also has a place in Sheffield on the Waverley site http://www.twi.co.uk/ But with luck GG UK's sorted you out with a replacement.
October 6, 200916 yr What would gg uk say about this then an 08 bike Edited October 6, 200916 yr by pjbjm
October 6, 200916 yr pjbjm, Just curious, How the HELL did that happen? Huge drop off? Tree jump in your way? Argument with the wife? Pesky little gremlins and their files?
October 6, 200916 yr I think they would say - holly crap. I hope whoever was riding it at the time is OK.
October 6, 200916 yr How on earth would you manage to do that!!, i don't think even Adam Raga is capable of doing that lol.
October 6, 200916 yr I would say it would appear on ebay with the following advert - 08 gas gas mint condition
October 6, 200916 yr I like my gas gas so I think its an optical illusion Foooking Impressive! Think I'll go back to Renthal bars now, just to see what happens! That frame tubing is much too thin for me! Edited October 7, 200916 yr by copemech
October 7, 200916 yr Ahhhh well now thats a prototype. Yes this is one of the folding models... just a slight problem on the design. Well at least it will go in the bin easier!
October 7, 200916 yr What would gg uk say about this then an 08 bike I think GasGas have been aware of this fault for some time now and have trained their staff accordingly*** *** Edited October 7, 200916 yr by HAM2
October 7, 200916 yr Author If you think about what these bikes are used for, Im surprised things like this dont happen more often. we also dont know what surcumstances these bikes are in to get this mangled. ive seen a GasGas fall off the edge of a quarry, fall about 50ft (maybe more) and come away with nothing but a broken lever and a snapped rear mudguard (which as usual, fastens back on in minutes). unfortunately, people never take pictures of their bike and show off about how un-broken it is! All the best Tom Edited October 7, 200916 yr by tombo46
October 8, 200916 yr spoke to craig robinson, he had one crack in the same place and said it can be welded no problem. going to take it to him next week and hopefully pick it up saturday when I go to the GG test day =]Thanks people. Tom Tom So did you speak to Shirty about this yet? Intrigued to see what response was. This should be replaced FOC along with an apology no problems as this is a major fault in the construction of that specific frame - warranty or not. There is no way on earth I would want it being welded (nothing to do with strength, integrity etc) I just would expect a new frame. If you did and he disagree's (as he may well have done) speak to GG direct in Spain. Cheers
October 8, 200916 yr I would have thought that shirty would have called you by now to avoid all this bad publicity. It seems logical that one looks after one's paying customers before spending money on advertisingwhether it be directly or by sponsoring good riders.

You know it when you purchased the lightest comp machine made! It comes with a stated warranty against defects! You get what you get! Add, it is what it is! It's not like he does not use the thing. So it needs a minor(acceptable) weld repair. I would dearly love to see someone like you bitch enough till everyone got tired of hearing your lip, then just hand you a bare unpainted frame and tell you to hit the road, have a nice day! I am sure you would still complain as you would probably not know what to do with it! You would probably expect your gas money for the trip along with the letter of apology! I would write to the president of Spain if I were you! Here's your sign! Edited October 9, 200916 yr by copemech
