don't have a good enough camera, but it's in the right spot, I've done it to another frame myself. I havent left feedback yet, but I'm contacting them with this:
Hi I recieved the frame today and unfortunately I have to say I'm not very happy.
Upon inspection, it appears that the frame has been crashed, as there is damage to the frame - there is a bulge in the downtube below the headset which is a tell tale sign of a front end collision. I am having the bike assesed by Brick Lane bikes (I'm sure you know of them)to confirm my suspicions.
The headline of the listing also states that it is Columbus SLX tubing, and there is no ribbing inside the seattube, which is the hallmark of this kind of tubing.
I would not have made the offer I did on this frame if I had known these things about it. If I can get confirmation of these two issues from a reputable bike shop here in london, I would like to know what action you will take to ensure that I am a satisfied customer. I like the frame very much but if I am correct about these issues then it is not worth what I was led to pay for it from your listing description.
Thanks and kind regards,
Ben
