The wind blew my bike over outside the supermarket tonight. Put a fair size dent into the top tube as it fell into the next bike rack hoop in the row 🙁
It's a much abused, little maintained and often left outside the pub steel roadrat frame, but I think I'm quite attached to it.

So how worried - if at all - would you be?
Ignore it and pedal onward or time to look at the new roadrats and a bring a brighter colour scheme into my daily commute?
Be reet, ride it till it breaks (it won't) 🙂
Wouldn't worry, I've rode similar off road for a long time and they have been fine. It's more extensional force there anyhow.
cool, thanks for the reassurance. I've never put a dent like that in a frame before and hoped it wouldn't be critical.
It's only 5p sized and a mm or so deep. Unfortunately it is in a place I will notice all the time.
The new duck egg one looks lovely, so I will have to try harder to kill it 😈
