I just bought a new Cannondale R900 in the fall with the CAAD5 frame. I have ridden it less that 200
miles due to the winter and weather conditions. When cleaning the bike after the last ride, I
noticed a dent in the left seatstay at about the mid point (between the two curves +/-). It wasn't
there before the ride and to my knowledge it wasn't banged into by anyone else during the ride.
Could this have heppened just from road shock or must something have banged it up? There are no
scuff marks in the area or any indications of contact. What is the prognosis? This will really suck
if I finally bought myself a nice bike and it gets damaged before I even really start using it. I am
stopping by the LBS on the way home for some other issues and was wondering how I should approach
this situation with them.
Thanks, Dave P.
