Have you thought about engineering some form of force-field around the down tube?

Don't turn it up too high though - you may find it affects handling.

Mine is covered in chips - the paint does seem to be a little fragile.

Still, it helps make me worry less about falling off and damaging it 😉 The only other issue I have had related to finding a tyre that was a good fit out back - Nobby Nic 2.25" seems to do the job nicely. Can't really squeeze anything bigger in (had a Smorgasboard in there for a bit, but it was rubbing the chainstay slightly, especially with a minutely off-true rear wheel - not the stock wheel which is now back in I should add)

I rode one a while back but bought something else.

The bike just didn't feel lively, dare I say felt a little dull. The HTA is very slack and I think this had alot to do with the feeling I got.

The rear works very well and is super efficient and overall a well made and decent looking frame
