07 Element 50 frame crack...pics

As long as you're the original owner should be no problem, the warranty is 5 years on the alloy FS frames

I purchased the bike new but it was from an ebay store and not an actual rocky dealer. When I first bought the bike I wondered how that would effect a warranty issue, I guess I will find out shortly.

I think you'll be fine.

Last year, my 07 Element chainstay (bought at an LBS) was cracking at the big forging at the front. A friend of mine, riding an identical frame checked and noted the same. A lot of stays broke on the '07's

Within a 3 weeks, we both got new stays (like the '08's, both front and rear ends reinforced), especially painted for us in '07 Tribal Colors :thumbsup:

That element tried to make itself into a horst link bike.
