and yes

a shelf that could hold ten pounds of mud before it locks up the rear wheel
bianchi warrantied my frame that was many years old
sent them a many page letter expressing how this frame did not met the bianchi objectives (as stated in a catalog) it was a few points of the failure of the u-brake

the story continued
they sent me a sweet bianchi frame where there was an issue with the threads on the bottom bracket
while riding that bike they sent another warranty frame with headset, bottom bracket, and front derailer

broke the frame and then had warrantied
as a clydesdale I have broken a number of frames
including my surly karate monkey
which is now a beautiful brown
after an effortless warranty
I love a company that will stand behind its product
