Looks great Ace! That's carbon frame is it? And some Sram XX parts?
Got my Cannondale Rush 3 Carbon yesterday and this is what I found:

Almost posted this to blood boil thread, but this just might turn much better than I hoped for.
Cannondale dealer told me this frame is done and needs to be replaced. Fortunately sender took insurance for transport and if everything goes like in the movies then I'm going to get a brand new frame.
Similar new one costs around 2-3000€

Huh? Frame on the Specialized is alloy isn't it? Sweet bike Whiskey, although not burly enough for my style of riding

And damn e-z! Is that how it was delivered?!? Looks like a brake lever's been banging against it during transit, we used to see it all the time.

That's how it came out from the box. It could be break lever, but it's a bit too low for that. That's the lower pipe of the frame.

Yeah but pretty much all bikes tend to be boxed from the factory with the handle bars/stem cable-tied to the side of the frame. If they've not been secured/packed well they take chunks out of your top or down tube, depending on the frame's front triangle configuration. Regardless of how it happened, if that's how it turned up then I'd be on the phone demanding a new bike or at the very least some hefty discount.

My Collection,

The hard tail,


The full bouncer,



and the Italian job,

That's exactly what I'm doing ATM. Finnish Posti took my claim and because that parcel was insured I'm hoping to get a brand new frame

Nice collection there mate. That Italian job is real beauty.
