New 2021 Checkpoint SL6 with damaged paint
I bought the new 2021 Checkpoint SL6. I was lucky as a Dutch dealer managed to get one early so no waiting time of a year for me. I was pretty excited when I got the bike but when I picked it up at the store I saw 2 spots where the paint was damaged. For that I would get a refund which I accepted. But at home I found a much bigger spot where the paint was completely chipped off. The dealer contacted Trek who delivered a new bike the next day. Good service right? But the paint job on the new bike was even worse. So now they will send a new frame as the SL6 is now completely out of stock. So if all goes well I will receive a dealer rebuilt bike. The bike is great btw, super nice actually. But poor quality control at Trek makes me drop the otherwise 5 star rating...
