All in all, it was concluded that my bike is in excellent mechanical condition, and that visible vertical mark should not be a problem.

On top of that, more good news. My PD-M540's came in Tuesday, and my pedaling continues to improve. I am one happy camper

I'm glad it was nothing. Good for you. Now slap those pedals on and ride that bike.
