there is no scratch on the frame or anywhere else. A couple months after I bought the bike I was diagnose I had lung damage getting more serious. the bike was in storage for four years after I rode for a month. it's been in my house and never ridden on the rode. it's like new ready to be broke in by a healthy person. I did about ten trips around Forest park is all this bike has on it. It's a good investment. it's asome bike. it is in brand new condition. you'll love the bike and the extras. Randy
