So much for full disclosure huh?
Maybe it's just me then. I would consider those "defects" to be par for the course when the words "General use and wear" were used to describe the paint. I'd expect scratches. The seller also said that the lugs had no rust, and Sherlock describes the failing touch up paint to reveal metal, not rust. So...IMO the ad accurately described the bike. Scratches, but not rust.

Sherlock should do what he's comfortable doing, not what I'd do.
