I personally like some scars on a bike
Stickers
normal wear and tear — keep riding. cosmetic flaws won’t slow you down or hinder your ability to have fun on a bike!
Bearing in pic 2 is more of a concern
Ride it. It’s a tool not a jewel.
Cry, nail polish and stickers.
Personally, being a perfectionist and frame painter, I’d peel off any loose paint, fill the chips with epoxy, sand smooth and give er a modern paint job.
Or leave as is…
Time for a new bike! /s
I mean it’s going to get scratched eventually. Just ride and enjoy it
Bandaids
I would ignore it, but it’s your bike. I would replace your bearings in your rear suspension pivots just by the looks of it as others had suggested. They’re easy to do. Pull out with a simple bearing tool. Install with a socket. YouTube it. Enjoy your bike!
I know it hurts. I touch up mine so the paint doesn’t peel off further. Just shred it on! 😎
I’d get a powder coat
That happens
Look at all that weight you’re saving! 😂
Seriously, get those bearings serviced!
