Titanium Bike Useful Life  –  Lets be Honest

Every bike, including Dean Titanium frames have a useful life.  For example, a frame built in 1995, has been ridden over 25 years.  That is a really long time.  Stated differently, nothing lasts forever.  All bike frames should be periodically checked for indications of potential failures including cracks, corrosion, dents, deformation, and any other indications of potential problems.  Regular safety checks like this are important.

So, in this context, an older frame akin to this example has had a good “ride” and is under scrutiny as to qualifying for a lifetime warranty.  WE ALWAYS DO OUR BEST TO HONOR OUR LIFETIME WARRANTY WITH OUR CUSTOMERS.  Ask us for references if you would like.
