I rust bought a new Trek FX7.2. I have a decent quality road bike and really did not want to shell out the bucks for a bike path bike that will only get casual use.

While lifting the bike on to the bike rack on my car, I noticed a small flaw on the top tube, near the bracket for the shifter and brake cables.




Should I be concerned about this damage? I am worried that the paint would lift and chip. It appears to be slightly cracked. Is this something Trek should correct?
