Sure people have seen this one online, what's the opinion here, classic C'dale bubbling paint, marks from working the headset, is it something to be concerned about?

I messaged the seller and he seems to think it isn't anything serious. I've checked other CAAD7's and they don't look like this.

Thanks

Finishing on the head tube weld looks like a bit of a Friday afternoon job.

It's probably OK, as OK an ancient aluminium frame that wasn't designed to last more than a couple of years of use could be.

Repainting it won't fix the weld, obvs.

Right, I thought the aluminum may have corroded slightly and could be brushed/cleaned up and repainted to look new, but if it's a weld then understand that wouldn't be the case.

Surely alu frames are designed to last more than a few years
