Plain-English summary

Seattle Bike Supply is recalling approximately 350 units of 2010 Redline Conquest Pro Cyclocross bicycles and framesets. The recalled products feature aluminum frames with carbon fiber forks and aluminum steerer tubes, and were sold in pearl white and blue colors. The bicycles were sold for about $1,900 and the framesets for about $550 at bicycle specialty stores nationwide between August 2009 and November 2009.

The recall is due to a defect where the bicycle's fork legs can separate from the fork crown. This separation can cause the rider to lose control, posing a risk of serious injury if the rider falls. The firm is aware of three reports of forks separating, with minor injuries reported in one of the incidents.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycles and framesets. They should contact their local Redline bicycle dealer to receive a free inspection and fork replacement.
