Yeah first pics were the seller's... If you can't tell already, there's a plastic coating over the annodized aluminum, to protect it. I'm definitely interested enough to get into it and see how bad the problems are. If nothing else I can salvage the Exage components and transfer to another mid-range frame... tbd.
