Subject: RE: Guru Bikes Bankrupt I bought a 2007 Guru new in 2010. It was a leftover. I got hurt that winter and stopped racing. The bike hung on my wall with 150 miles on it until last summer (4 years ). I started racing again, lost enough weight to ride again. So I had a fit done. After the fit the mechanic found that the front derailleur bracket (part of the frame ) was cracked. Guru refused to fix it for free claiming that it was a wear and tear issue. Yes, with 150 miles on it.
I had it welded local and it broke again as it was a design flaw. I got thru the season with it JB welded and the day after my last race the bike got stripped and all the parts that could be used were put on a new Giant Trinity frame.
I would never buy a Guru again nor would I recommend them to anyone.
Guess now that's a non issue. Other than being about to have one custom built they were just outed dated and over priced.
If I were to get a custom built bike I would go with a Whisper. They are fantastic and he's local for me. |
