Plain-English summary

Procycle Group Inc. is recalling approximately 45 Rocky Mountain-Solo Bicycles due to a fall hazard. The recall involves the 2006 SOLO CR50, 2006 SOLO CR70, and 2007 SOLO CR LTD models, which feature a full carbon Columbus frame. The "Rocky Mountain" and "Solo" branding is printed on the head tube.

The head tube on these bicycles can detach from the rest of the frame. Procycle Group Inc. has received two reports of head tubes detaching, which resulted in shoulder and facial injuries to consumers.

The affected bicycles were sold at independent bicycle dealers nationwide from August 2006 through July 2007 for between $2,000 and $5,850. Consumers should stop using the bicycle immediately and return the frame to the bicycle store where purchased to receive a free replacement frame, a full refund, or credit.
