    Frame fatigue is supposed to take years. I'm not a metallurgist, so it's just something I've heard about in bike shops and read about online. New bikes probably wouldn't feel stretchy, and in the time it takes for the metal to fatigue - I'm sure most people assume they're getting slower because of age, not power transfer. *shrugs*
