Just saw this on supergo's website, thought I'd post it in case anyone
has one or knows someone who does.

Full text, apologies if it messes up, I just copied out of the PDF and
pasted it:

retail price for the frame
was $299.
Supergo has had four reports of breakages of the top and down tubes of
the frame. No
injuries have been reported. A photograph of the recalled frame (shown
with a sample fork and
seatpost) is below. The frame is matte black in color with a yellow

“Weyless” and one on the top tube that says “Ultra”. The serial number
is located on the bottom of
the bottom bracket and the range recalled is PG1210201 through
PG1210400. It was sold in sizes
14”, 16”, 18”, 20”and 22”.

newly designed Weyless Ultra frame free of charge.

live with you, or if you
have sold the frame to someone, please advise us of their name and
address immediately so that
we can send them this notice. If you know of anyone who bought the
frame, or may be using it,
please let us know their name and address as well so that we can send
this notice.

we are concerned

Yeah, I saw one of those broken frames in person, and I have to say I've
never seen anything like it. You'll never guess how much the guy weighed
and what he was using the bike for.
