Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

At the very least have a bike shop check the blades for both spacing and alignment. They can also tell you if the damage is superficial or serious. Can you contact the seller with a claim for a refund or cost adjustment? Apparently the bike wasn't packed properly for shipment. There is a good reason new bikes are shipped with a rigid spacer between the fork dropouts.
