Rossin SLX arrived today. I was INCREDIBLY happy (came with lots of unmentioned Dura Ace), but I'm pretty sure it's been crashed at some point. The Forks aren't original: they're not MAX, they weigh more than some SLX forks I have and the paint is different to the frame, and there's a slight bulge in the downtube.
To me, it looks like the geometry is fucked, the front wheel downtube clearance seems too tight with both sets of forks I tried, suggesting that it's merked.
Any ideas? I'm panicking slightly as the seller is a bit of a moron and I really, really can't be arsed to send it all back.
At least the frame is Rossin, and SLX. I just hope it's not had it.
