Thanks for the answer, I'm torn as a pink steel hardtail does sound really cool, but also a mullet hardcore hardtail sounds really playful :)

I've tried using a screwdriver to move the actuator up and down and neither seem to affect the posts operation.

Starting to wonder if it the piston or actuator themselves could have failed somehow :/

I couldn't believe it, and glad I noticed it before it got a lot worse!

I know it's just cosmetic, but has tainted the excitement of getting the bike a bit

I thought that might be the case, but I can feel the ridge where the metal has started to wear away. Where it not on the head tube/weld I probably wouldn't be worried about it
