Years back I got this old rock lobster frame that I got from someone I used to work with...

I had it built up for putting some easy miles in when I was injured/feeling keen, its huge something like 21", but that was ok for what I was using it for. However its now just lying around, I'd sell it but its got a proper ding in the down tube (since I got it)
Sensitive types should avert their eyes now

Is someone going to want it? Is it worth trying to get the downtube replaced? Sell it to a builder for spares tubes? Get it chopped up and made into a super lightweight kids bike? 😯
Its such a nice frame apart from the ding but every time I look at it I can't get past it
Is it still straight? if so ride it.
