I came off in the Lakes last weekend, and have just noticed this dent in the top tube of my Orange P7. It's about 1 or 2 mm deep, and 5 or 6 mm wide I think. Is this nothing to worry about, should I do my utmost to get it repaired, or is it now the time to get that Cotic Soul that everyone keeps raving about?

Sorry to disappoint but there should be no problem with that at all. Your bank manager will be pleased though.
got a bigger dent than that in my soul 4 years ago adds to the ride quality.
Yes you are going to die. Probably of heart failure or some chronic illness.
However, your bike will be fine, forever.
Adds character. Get the soul anyway 🙂
Cheers guys 🙂
No Soul for me I'm afraid, I've just spent my spare bike money on some shiny new Hope brakes for the P7 (CRC blatantly clearing out their 2012 stock, but saved me near £100 for the pair!). Supposed to be saving up for a wedding...
I hope it's ok as mine has been like that for the last 3 years!
