today I damaged the paint on my soma

I was in downtown, meeting some guy I didn't want to meet to sell him a helmet I didn't want. On the way back I notice a unh in my pedal rotation, figure something is lose and I'll check on it when I get home (4 or so miles). I continue and it gets worse, I turn off my headphones and it's loud as hell, so loud I forgot I could feel it. So I start looking at my front wheel/hub (while still moving) wondering if something is going on with it (where it sounded like it was coming from). Finally get off a main road, miles later (should've done it sooner, but the "on my way home" thought screwed me) and notice its the back of my chainring. A chainring bolt had come loose while I was riding and had started rubbing up against the frame.. every rotation and all the way up it, for several miles, through the CC and all. It's already a super close fit with my frame so that bolt was just the icing on the cake to finally dig into my paint job. Aesthetically I don't really care for myself... it's in a place most people won't notice, but should help destroy any resale value down the road
