Got one a few weeks back and it's been in the box since awaiting funds for the remaining parts. I just noticed a dimple in the drive side chain/seatstay. The spacing is still a perfect 120mm and there is no damage to the paint or anything. Anyone here got a Dart and can have a quick look at theirs? Just curious if they're made like this in production or if mine has been damaged.

Not meant to put people off. Great frame and value at £300. Just a bit worrying as the non driveside stays looks perfect in comparison.

Awaiting response from TF as well.

Thanks.

My steel track frame (non-dart) has the same. Think it's to aid chain clearance?

Has this been resolved?

Yup, resolved!

The Dart's track ends have that non-symmetrical profile to aid chain clearance and give you the space to run big cogs. Hope that helps!

Thanks. Got the same response from TFG . Could've figured that out myself, just thought it looked a bit tacky.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
