After a week of talking about options with Turner, the best choice seems to be a crash replacement on my 5-Spot frame. I really want a RFX frame but in Greg's words it would be a long wait. So $500 for a new 5-Spot frame or $600 and wait for a RFX frame. So 5-Spot frame goes off to be painted then back to Turner to get a $150 rocker upgrade to get 5.5 travel. Shipped to me in about 2 weeks.

I still have a RFX frame on order from The Path and someone wants to by the 5.5 Spot frame from me so all is good. In a round about way I should have a RFX frame to build up in about a month.

I am very pleased with the way Turner handled this.

Good to hear that the warranty and cs came thru... at least the Spot is going to a homerette

I wish those RFXs were readily available, it would make my decision making for my next project easier.

RFX should be here in about a month. The Path has a bunch of large frames.

Glad it worked out for you

PacMan · 07-09-2007, 08:00 PM

I've always wanted to try out a Turner frame. Maybe one of you fine gentleman could let me give it a go the next time I manage to hook up for a ride up there?

Nice. Gotta love it when a company takes care of their customers right (from one Turner owner to another!)

And folks this is on a bike that's been out of warranty for years, yet Turner steps up again to help a brutha out. I wonder if Tony is watching? Then again, it's nothing he hasn't seen from Turner on a number of occasions.

carbonman · 07-10-2007, 10:03 AM

You know that Tony could care less. I say don't buy "E" bikes and buy something from a company that stands behind their product. Big props to

The new 5.5 rockers make for a sweet ride. Just upgraded my old Pack which ended my lust for the new RFX.

the 5.5 damped by the CCDB is all I need. Very controlled plushness.

Now if I could get the 6.4 with the lower BB height I have currently......
