    Hit an exposed rock trying to go straight over and avoid a switchback 🙄 on the edge/corner of the monocque. Its about 5mmx2mm dented on ridge of the downtube so nowhere near the BB and not near the weld (I remember recently someone had a dent on the weld itself?). Opinions? I think its ok/not structural- kinda cosmetic. Orange-peeps here, agree?

    Never dented a frame before (cracked yes, never dented though)- just questioning as its monocque 🙂

    send it to me, i specialise in destructive testing, it should only take 3-4 years, after that you can have it back, cant gaurentee it wont have reached its fatigue life in that time though 🙂
