If you bought it 6 years ago you are out of luck. Why do you think your frame is defective? First post, what a surprise.

He may not have bought it 6 years ago he may have bought an almost 6 year old bike.

I was thinking, how does he know it is a defective frame? If the owner of the bike originally "knew" this, why didn't he get it rectified?

Something smells funny...

Thanks for all your opinions,,

I was the original owner of the bike, bought it in 2010,, few month later we have the political instability, so we had to keep the bike in garage for almost 3 years,,, after such I noticed this defect and I didn't know that it's related to the chassis... I attached a photo for the defect

so what do you think I shall do in your opinion.. ?
It's an undebatable product defects from factory

I am the original owner of the bike and I bought in 2010/2011
Since then, I saw this defect but I didn't know that it's related to the chassis
