Got a Ouzo Pro in the mail today...
Hi all
I ordered an Ouzo fork from a guy who claims it was only used for 600 miles and then swapped out. however when i unpacked it, there was this chipping along the top of the steerer tube (looks like it's about the length of a stem stack height?). What is your take on this? Did I get burned? What is the best way of going about getting my money back, etiquette-wise?
thanks!

If this was not disclosed prior to the sale, you have a right to a full refund, in my opinion. No one can tell you definitively from a picture online that this is not compromised in some way.
I would never sell a fork like that without full disclosure. I would personally demand a refund.

Thought so. This was one of the last pieces i needed to start my build and now im so upset that I have to postpone it until I can find a new fork. Damn. Do I ask for him to pay the return shipping as well?
