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 ?
