    Thanks for the input guys. I've had another close look and I think it should be ok. The only strange thing seems to be a dent on the underside of the lug joining the head tube and top tube (by the corner). I presume this is probably a result of something else? When the accident happened I...

    Damaged bike, is the frame still ok to use?

    Hi Guys, I've been reading stuff on here for a little while (a former Woolies employee with plenty of spare time). Haven't felt the need to say anything before but now's as good as anytime to start. About 8 months ago I decided to take up Piano, I had played instruments when younger but...
