• So I just received an FXE frameset from Dolan and noticed it had burrs where both the top tube and down tube meet the head tube, which I can file down pretty easily but also the end of the headtube looks kind of rough, mostly just paint I think, how usual is this for modern frames? (I was expecting it to be mostly ready to go) can just clean this up with wet and dry or will I need to properly face the ends? Any advice would be welcome, hopefully the pictures are clear enough. Cheers.

  • Looks fine to me. You can tidy up edges of the breather holes in the headtube and the bottom of the headtube if you want, but it'll make no difference whatsoever to how it rides, and the breather holes are invisible anyway once it's built up.
