We were able to confirm the defect without disassembling the bike by quickly leveling it in the stand and measuring to the floor. It would be up to the bike owner to file any warranty claims.
My reason for posting this is, for a new buyer in the price range between $800 and $1500, you can get a huge amount more bike for just a couple hundred dollars more in price. For folks looking to buy a gravel bike I think this is worthwhile information to consider.
