Well, my '01 Razorback Team just [smiley=diaper.gif] the bed.  Seat tube snapped just below the shock mount while climbing.  Looks like I'll get it warranteed though.  Hopefully I'll get an '03 frame.  I've heard they're stronger...

Is this common? I am in the process of getting a new 2001 frame to build up and would like to know if it is a ongoing problem before I spend the money.

the first two years, i think, had problems (not many) but that was a weak point. i'd avoid it myself, even if you plan to just road ride the thing, unless you have a factory warantee

I'm pretty sure the problem was confined to the XL frames from '99-00, although mine was an '01.  Keep in mind that I am 6'6" and weigh about 208...
