Brand-new carbon Giant Defy bought for about $2,500 developed a small frame crack near the seat post within three months and under 500 miles with no crashes. Giant blamed the customer rather than honoring the advertised lifetime frame warranty, and the bike shop would not replace it, leaving the owner with a cracked frame.
