Not a Trek. It's a brand that NO shops here in the US deal with....Ghost. REI is the sole US distributor, and I have nothing against REI for some things, but a bike shop they are not. When I tried to get a spare derailleur hanger from them, You woulld have thought I asked for a flux capacitor. The guy needed time to figure it out and ultimately called me back and left a VM saying I should just look for one online. The sole Canadian dealer sells them online, but not to the US. I contacted Ghost directly and asked them to sell me one, and to their credit, they just threw one in the mail. The guy was apologetic actually.
I emailed the company again yesterday about the cracked chainstay and basically asked if they have any rear triangles in stock to sell me, so we'll see what happens. Hopefully they have some stock left. I don't know though, it's a 2016 non-boost.
I bought the frame used on here for....whats the saying..."pennies on the dollar" so I can't get too upset. I do like it, but it's my first full suspension bike so I don't have much for comparison.
I thought about having it welded, but then I read online that with the heat treating it's never as strong and you don't know if it will fail again etc., so not sure if that's a good idea. If I can't get a new rear triangle, I'll probably just look for a suitable replacement frame, again for "pennies on the dollar". Non-boost frames are so yesterday, I should be able to find a deal
