Heel Rub and frame integrity
Hello.
I am interested in purchasing a frame, and the driver's side chainstay has some significant heel rub, resulting in a raw spot.
Here is a picture:
I am not interested in discussing pricing, sourcing, purchase suggestions or any other sort of opinions for this item, all I want to know is if this bald spot has a serious affect on the frame's integrity.
In case it wasn't obvious, the frame in question is a CAAD frame.

looks just like the paint is gone. should be fine. i was expecting it to be a carbon frame. since its alu and it just has the paint rubbed of you should be fine. if there was a dent, crease, or crack then you might have more to worry about.
