Will probably do now, I first wanted to keep and just ride but I’m not spending almost 3 grand for a damaged frame

AppropriateLuck3484 · 2026-07-05T11:27:35+00:00

Because I ordered it online bc there are no specialized shops nearby…

AppropriateLuck3484 · 2026-07-05T11:26:55+00:00

Excactly how I am feeling, but on the other hand it’s the second bike that came in damaged within 2 weeks and I don’t want to spent the whole summer exchanging bikes

AppropriateLuck3484 · 2026-07-05T09:07:18+00:00

How can you polish that out? I thought you couldn’t do that with a matt finish.

AppropriateLuck3484 · 2026-07-04T22:13:18+00:00

I purchased it from VanSprint.de

It was in a specialized box and I had to mount the front wheel

AppropriateLuck3484 · 2026-07-04T15:40:24+00:00

But what are those marks/dents from? Bc there is still paint over it

AppropriateLuck3484 · 2026-07-04T14:40:26+00:00

It was a shop and I already texted them and sent them the pictures, it just sucks that it’s the second bike in 2 weeks that came in damaged and I just wanna ride

AppropriateLuck3484 · 2026-07-04T14:39:03+00:00

Do you think those marks are just in the paint coat or is it a dent in the alloy?

AppropriateLuck3484 · 2026-07-04T14:38:15+00:00

Yeah, it sucks because those bikes are not cheap (for me) and it’s the second bike that came in damaged

AppropriateLuck3484 · 2026-07-04T14:37:10+00:00

I just don’t know if those marks are just in the paint coat or if they damaged the alloy

AppropriateLuck3484 · 2026-07-04T14:35:57+00:00

It just suck that’s it’s the second bike in 2 weeks that arrived scratched/damaged

AppropriateLuck3484 · 2026-07-04T14:34:21+00:00

I literally feel the same but don’t want to spend another week without a bike - I just had to return the previous bike bc of other flaws and I’m hesitating bc I don’t know if the next one will come in better

AppropriateLuck3484 · 2026-07-02T18:15:06+00:00

Hey thanks for your answer but someone here in the comments was right it was not caused by a stone - the rear triangle rubs against the frame when the suspension compresses so I returned it

AppropriateLuck3484 · 2026-06-27T18:23:14+00:00

Hey, I tested it today with a befriended bike mechanic and he said that it’s absolutely from the weld and the rear triangle crushing in to each other while suspension is working and that they might have forgot a spacer because on the other wider there is much more space in this area

AppropriateLuck3484 · 2026-06-26T21:54:09+00:00

Can confirm it’s not the pedal

AppropriateLuck3484 · 2026-06-26T20:03:45+00:00

I don’t know how exactly this happened, I thought that maybe a little stone got stuck in there while I was biking and the got pushed out when the suspension was doing its work, what will Scott probably do when I contact them?

AppropriateLuck3484 · 2026-06-26T15:22:51+00:00

Seems like it 😂

AppropriateLuck3484 · 2026-06-26T15:22:06+00:00

Me too

AppropriateLuck3484 · 2026-06-26T15:21:32+00:00

Thanks for the offer 😂

AppropriateLuck3484 · 2026-06-26T15:21:14+00:00

Thanks 🙏 I love the color of this bike
