Hi all
My CR1 had a minor fall but in the process, part of the fork and seat stay was scratched by a low wall. :evil: I'm pissed at the guy to knocked my bike over, but that's about all I could do then.

However the frame does have that spotless look as before and I'm wondering how to fix it? Any bright ideas?
