Is this a brand-new frame, or used? That sort of paint mark right there typically means it's been in a crash, or maybe the front-end mashed a bit in shipping. That doesn't necessarily mean that it's unsafe to ride, but might be worth investigating - look for more clues on the fork, just below the crown. -- Bill Connell St. Paul, MN --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
