Just noticed that somehow my Saracen Hack has acquired a dent in the top tube.
Gutted, as it’s only a few rides old.

How bad is it, do you think?
Will I die etc?

You’ll die.

Probably not from this.

No absolutely 100 percent fine. Just a scratch. Despite the following dumb posts. 😉

Certain death!

(although I very much doubt this will be the cause)

EDIT: beaten by 2 people 😡

Looks like a sticker.

Same as you, had my 1 month old bike fall on a concrete flower pot thing, dented both top and downtube. Top was about the same as yours, down was pretty bad; someone must be still riding that frame 6 years later.

I have a dent like that on my ~95 Univega.
I died several times.

End of days…..

It’ll be fine

Just scream “hold together” on every scary downhill.

It’s a round dent and everyone knows circles are strong 😆

This is a dent.

It will fail catastrophically. Of you like I can test it for you? It might take a few years of testing though, long sunny days of testing, with cafe stops and cake.

Au contraire, Yossarian.

Ride on soldier.

Everybody dies but not from that 😉

Why is it that if you put a dent in your frame it’s always when it’s new? Think of it as the start of a long and happy relationship

Perfect excuse for a frame upgrade

This is, apparently, a ‘slight deformation’

Is that the Iron Maiden Sky Bus above? 😆

cripes!
same here, dropped a mattock on the top tube of my chameleon at 3 weeks old.

Your bike will implode creating a black hole that will destroy the universe
Hope you feel proud of yourself 🙁

Ha, that all makes me feel much better about it.
Thanks folks, knew I could rely on stw for the appropriate response ?
