I am almost 100% sure that it's not going to appear, but if somebody hears something...

I really hate the fact that I can not just park my bike without being afraid that some part can be stolen. I really liked that saddle. I was going for a quick visit to the office of a friend, when I came back to properly look the saddle as well (< 30min) it was already stolen.

HATE HATE HATE

I suspect that there are people on the same situation, we can share our sorrows here

Hey guys/girls, thank you very much for your replies. It was my first post and I feel really welcomed

I've contacted Cooper Bikes, as somebody has mentioned here before, and they are going to send me a touch up paint. I will keep you posted with the results!

Anyway, there are plenty of good ideas for it. If the paint doesn't work out I am possibly try to find a nice sticker.

Always assuming you haven't tried the manufacturer to see if they can provide touch-up paint!

Good one! I think that there is a Fiat with exactly the same color

I didn't know about Halfords, I would take a look.

Really nice idea! Is this kind of paint suitable for outdoors/water?

Hi all!

I know that it's stupid to care too much about this, but it's a completely new bike

I've made this to it: http://i.imgur.com/a8Q085u.jpg (for some reason if I use the img tag you can not see the scratches).

I was wondering if there is an easy way of fixing/hiding it?

I've heard that I could use some nail polish or a car scratches pen, but I am not pretty sure about the color. The bike is this one: http://www.cooperbikes.com/bikes/3/Reims the colour is Cream, but I don't know the exact one.
