Do you think there is a chance they would replace the frame I don't want it "touched up" it will only return and anyway could do that myself better than them anyway.

Cheers Spyke
Had same problem with rust on frame - they did it under warranty but they didnt change the frame they just touched it blah, blah, blah....its not worth the hassle (unless you will have more luck and they give you a new frame - doubt it).

They also did for me: spokes, front and rear, engine cover, forks covers, side stand (but again didnt change but painted - i didnt notice this when i picked up the bike).

Good luck anyway
