Fixeable?

I had a bit of a tumble with another cyclist. I slowed down quite a bit, and the contact was with my front tire and his frame. After that, I’m guessing his pedal scratched my frame, My bike is new, do you think it’s fixable?

Top tube question

Handlebars wrapped around, looks like a screw took off paint. But unsure.

Sounds the same as other parts with coin test except for the fact that paint is missing so material is diff. Isn’t soft to the touch and hasn’t changed in over a year.

The most noisy case landing I’ve ever witnessed

Carbon damage or just paint damage?

I noticed this small dent/chip on my carbon bike frame after transporting it on my car. The bike was secured to the bike rack using a padded strap around the frame. My fingernail catches on the damaged spot and the area looks slightly raised. Does this look like structural carbon damage/delamination or just paint/clear coat damage?

I feel like she’s done

Chain came off during a race and I pulled it through my frame on an uphill sprint. LBS said not to worry about it but I’m sceptical on this one. Really prefer my collar bones intact
