Well after a few months of ownership I had the e13 cranks fall off, then after 23 months of ownership I noticed I had the Chainstay Weep hole crack that seems to be common on the 2022 Alu frames. When I sent in pics of the crack and the motor spindles to the shop I purchased from, they filed my Claim. Orbea just responded and let me know they are sending me a new Frame and motor. They are sending me a Mulberry frame, so at least I like the color. I've seen a few in the FB group post that they received gold frames thru warranty. My frame was the Gunmetal metallic/black. Unfortunately my Red RF Turbine R Stem and Chris King Headset, and a few other parts no longer match so Black Replacements have been ordered. Now I have to remove my Cascade link/longer shock and reinstall stock suspension before I send it in once the frame/motor arrive. Maybe I'll get a better resale value in this crappy used market them buy a 24 MyO Wild m11.
