What are your thoughts on dings in steel frames?

[royaloaker]

should be no worry as others comments all agree.only worry is many times theft involving a U lock around a top tube & the thieves will cause a dent in their haste to cut the lock or forceably open it.so be sure to check stolen bike registry if you think it maybe pinched.......https://stolen.bikeindex.org/stolen/merging
