Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

No trolling intended at all. Just stating my opinion. On the other hand I find your BMC hot!

I'd try and get a new fork. Trek's are notorious for defective paint

Yeah, I just asked the shop about that and they said they would definitely replace the fork. They said it probably occurred because they may have put the sticker on before the paint totally dried. I have taken that same warning sticker off of 5 other Treks in the past few years and never once have I witnessed that. That would be a defect in the paint job.

Yo troll, Ever driven a Mazda 3?

I sure had fun surprising folks on the track (Autobahn in Joliet IL) with the the wife's '09 Mazda 3 last summer. Yeah, a dog in the straights, but stopping and cornering, especially stopping - phenomenal for the family beater. Personally, I'm not too into the flames either.

Wait, those are flames on a mazda 3? Ok, that is kinda funny.

Anyway, I would 100% require a replacement fork. Clearly a defect, and you should certainly be upset about that.

Or at least get rid of the letter "K" on the other side of the fork, so it's more symmetrical.

Dear UCIMBZ,

You are literally the rudest person I've ever witnessed in any type of web community. If you must continue to share your obvious bitterness with others, please do so somewhere else.

Thanks in advance,
