What happened to the bike in transit? It looks really scratched up on the drive side, esp. fork and chainstay.

The company hired to transport the bikes after a ride put the bikes side by side without packing blankets in between. It was only in the truck for about 10 miles back to the hotel and when it was unloaded the paint was scratched. For some reason it looks worse in the pictures than in person, especially the fork. The part that looks really bad on the chain stay, is the plastic chain stay protector sticker. After it got scratched, dirt got caught on the sticky part so it looks worse than it is.
The Gold Shamals are sold, so the bike is now only available with the fulcrums.
