Ok-Reindeer-2459 on August 20, 2024 4:48 pm 5 min fix: sharpie out the yellow 2 hr fix: remove fork lightly sand the fork and paint with matte black 2 day fix: disassemble bike, sand frame and fork. Custom paint it what ever color you want Simplest fix: see if you can find an all black fork or get crash replacement from cannondale.

Just buy a new bike

Get a yellow highlighter pen
I’d just accept it as is.
No worries, everyone will be looking at that stem.
Might try riding it first to see if looks really affect your ride
