i know of 3 giant frames that have cracked belonging to guys i know so im dubious of buying one .
Surely it would depend on the bike as many bikes are designed for a long working life and others like road bikes are designed for performance and a shorter product life as stated in Giant's manual. I think if the frame has failed at or close to the welds then that would be seen as a manufacturing fault but if its just tubes failing from fatigue away from the welds that would be seen as fair wear and tear after a few years.
