Strange pattern on frame

[Andywinds]

I've noticed a strange pattern in the paintwork. Has anyone seen this before?

Looks like the carbon weave. I wouldn't worry.

Did you let it get wet?

 

[derrick]

I it all over or just patches?

Looks a bit odd but might be normal for that bike?

If its a monocoque carbon frame then its normal
The picture looks odd though .

It all over the frame. The frame is a ' Torayca 700 12m (Marble Stone) Carbon, BB86'

Is it smooth to touch ... It looks rippled in your picture
Edit : looking at your second picture it looks as it should be (monocoque frame)

I'm thinking the 'marble stone' might be a clue? I'd send the bike back as it's black for starters

 

[Andywinds]

No this bike has been in storage as an ex-display, every part of any black bit is like this, even the forks, and it is completely smooth. So maybe marble stone is a feature!!

Why not call the retailer and ask them...or call forme directly?

Another pic. Not very good photos.

I did email the company but did not hear back, this was purchased via a shop as ex-showroom.
