My Frame arrived this morning with very minor damage. If it wasn’t carbon I would not be paranoid about it.

Probably (hopefully) nothing.

Would appreciate advice. Do I need to return it?

Thanks

What are you calling damage? the fluffyness on the front of the head tube?

If so i think that is simply poor pre sale clean up. Not damage. It should be fine. If you can see soft of damaged fibres then thats a different story. Send it back!

It’s me being paranoid.

Guy from my LBS says it is good.

Thanks for the reassurance 👍🏻

If its the fluffy stuff get some 300 grit plus wet and dry and give it a mild sand up to clean all the bits off before pressing the bearings in.
