Hi all

This is my first post on the forum although I have been reading posts for a while.

Today I picked up a Sirrus Comp, which I had ordered, from a LBS. The guy in the shop pointed out a small chip in the paint where the cables enter the frame. He said he had spoken to specialized who offered £50 off and said a small blob of touch up paint would sort it out. He offered to order a replacement bike which I couldn't accept (My lift had gone and I needed to cycle 15 miles home). So I bought the bike and he is going to phone Specialized to request a replacement frame or a further discount.

Although this sounds quite reasonable to me, I am concerned that he said Specialized knew about the problem and that it only occurred on the paintwork of the Comp. I am wondering whether the paint job on the Comp is therefore more prone to scratches chips etc in other places as well for whatever reason. I would be interested to hear of other people's experiences and on opinions as to whether I should have the frame changed if it is likely to be the same.

Thanks in advance

Years ago now but when my Sirrus Sports '06 was new (End of 05) its paint chipped every ride but for some reason it settled down :wacko:
