I'm think it's just the paint, the carbon looks pretty smooth underneath. My only concern is that it must have taken a fair impact to do that damage. The bike shop offered a £30 refund, which seems a little cheap to me. The again, how do you quantify a paint chip. Would you recommend the bike, do they ride well?
not to comment on the situation one way or another in terms of impact, but if you're not happy with the condition its in on receipt of the good or their reduction, return the item
The shop will accept the return, but I'm going to keep it precisely because there's not much else about. Brexit/covid has decimated stock and added about 20% to prices, I haven't seen anything of equivalent quality at that price point. First world problems......
