Damaged paint/frame on nearly new Rose
The top layer of paint on my few month old Rose has been cracked when in a friends cycle carrier and I not to sure how to repair or if repair at all.
It seems to be that the top layer of paint had cracked and there is a kind of bubble on the frame only a few cm long. The frame does not seem to be be damaged. My friend who put the bike on the carrier has offered to assist to pay for a repair but Im not sure about that as he was doing a favour driving to the ETAPE. Also not sure if it can be repaired without the full frame being resprayed. Any ideas?
Thanks!

My thoughts too. How bloody hard was it clamped? Looks like the carbon's been flexed at least0 -
I'm not sure how hard it was clamped - my mate put it on the carrier. Guess I'll take it to a bike shop to see what they say.0

You could try tapping the length of the downtube with a coin and listen for a change in sound from the undamaged part of the tube. Doesn't look great to be honest. I know he's your mate but i think he owes you big time :shock:argon 18 e116 2013 Vision Metron 80
