I agree it looks bad, that is why I specifically put the photo on there to make sure people not buying in person get to see it beforehand. It is NOT a gouge though. It is just the paint wearing off. If someone wants to buy it from out of town I'll have it inspected by whatever bike shop they choose in town. Thanks for the comment. Definitely needed to be addressed. Cameron

 not to be a dick but that looks like a huge "gouge" to me
