so couple of tiny , maybe 3mm dia and 0.5mm deep stone chips around bb area - this is going to be unavoidable in normal riding, but as it's my first carbon frame I am ignorant of such things. Alloy and steel bikes are covered in chips which do no harm - is carbon the same, or are you supposed to touch them up or something ?

tis just a little of the shiny lacquer

Heli tape on the down tube when new!

I have a few nicks on the clear coat on my road frame, I touch them up with clear nail varnish. Im afraid they are unavoidable, shows you use it though. ๐Ÿ™‚
