SD is a great place for this and now you can compare to your above test ride.
Big clear coat chips can be a sign of bad quality control and possibly risk that the CF layup was also out of QC
A road trip does sound like fun. My problem right now is that we're in the home stretch of this semester and I literally cannot take a single day off, then the day after finals, I fly back east to spend Christmas with family. I can only hope that bike is still for sale when I get home, or a similar one in the right size.
