RIP9 frame failure

My Niner RIP9 frame broke while climbing Cowles Mountain. Complete break of the two tubes running between the seat and chain stays. The frame was just under 2 yrs old - good timing, it's warranted for 2 yrs. Niner offered to replace the rear triangle for free or upgrade to the current model frame for $250. That's a great deal (the new frame has lots of improvements) so I'm taking it.
