Have you used a frame bag on the Standert at all so far?
I loaned a friend mine for a ride, he attached a small triangle bag and it’s left the paintwork in a right state. The lacquer seems to scratch if you stare at it hard enough, wondering if it’s just mine?
I haven't had a frame bag on here but that's annoying! You said yours has chipped a bit from gravel riding too right? I have had mudguards on and only ridden on the road so far. Got some 650b rims to build up though so I guess I should prepare myself for it to not look brand new forever.
Yeah, has a few scratches and a chip or two from winter ‘gravel’ riding which was always to be expected but surprised that a Velcro strap took the lacquer off
Still loving the bike though, quick enough for road rides and with enough clearance for off road.
