There is some play in both the BB and the pedals. I am pretty sure the frames not hurt
but it can be hard to spot damage. Your right about noticing more noises, as i started hearing the cables and things rubbing. Anyway there is play in these areas, as well as my front hub has some vibration, not serious but its still there. Its strange how these things are wearing so fast. The bike is not a year old yet, and i noticed play in the BB a few weeks after i got the bike. I dont have many tools, i will have to take it in again. I kind of miss the old shop i used to go to in my old town. You cant always trust every shop. At times it seems that some shops dont take you or your bike seriously. Maby its just me
Thanks
