What caught me by surprise was the flaking paint on the "chain case bracket". I thought this bike was powder coated. I don't think powder coating is suppose to flake off.
Anyway, it's all good. I still think it's an awesome bike.

Rust & Flaking Paint
After riding through this mild winter, my bike has developed some rust spots. It's not a big deal. This bike was built to be used after all.
What caught me by surprise was the flaking paint on the "chain case bracket". I thought this bike was powder coated. I don't think powder coating is suppose to flake off.
Anyway, it's all good. I still think it's an awesome bike.
