Hi all, I am looking at a used bike and there is some damage to the carbon near the bottom bracket. Looks it it was from the chain. Should I avoid the bike because of it? Please see attached pictures.
Thanks,
Ronan
Can't really tell much from the picture, except that it looks to be more than just some scuffed paint. Why buy a bike that is damaged to an unknown degree in a structurally critical location (drive-side chain-stay). When does that bike fail? When applying maximum force to the pedals...that's not a good time to have the bottom half of the bike come apart.
Buy, something else...
