Seattle Bike Supply is recalling 330 Redline Conquest Cyclocross bicycles and framesets because of a faulty fork.
The Kent, Washington-based company and the US Consumer Product Safety Commission says the aluminum fork legs can break off from the fork crown.
The company is urging customers to stop riding those bicycles as it has received five reports of cracks near the crown. Consumers can return the bike to a local dealer for a free fork replacement.
The bikes sold for about $1,400 and the frames sold for $400 from July 2009 to May 2010 from specialty stores nationwide. Made in Taiwan, the aluminum bikes are painted yellow and black and were offered in sized 44cm to 60cm.
See the CPSC recall notice and the instructions at Seattle Bike Supply. For additional information, contact Redline Bicyles at (800) 283-2453 between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. PT Monday through Friday.
