Same story here as some of the others. I bought mine back in april. Love the bike, but the paint chips like nothing else. I'm going to repaint it this winter i believe. Build seems quality, but lately there's been this strange clicking noise coming from the bottom bracket area in certain parts of the crank rotation. I've taken the whole thing apart, greased it all up and put it back together but it's still there. I tried tightening the chainring bolts too, so that's not it. i'm hoping it's not a failing joint on the BB, that would be no good.
