Thanks for the replies. I didn't bother filling it and so as jsabine said I am now "embracing the beater". I bought this frame knowing it wasn't worth anything and telling myself that it would just be a leave-outsider. But then of course as soon as I stripped the paint and have resprayed it, it holds more value to me. So maybe this dent is a good thing for helping me keep it in perspective. Or perhaps I am clutching at straws to take a positive from this!
Either way I am hoping that it's more cosmetic than structural damage. I will continue riding it and keep an eye out for any cracks etc.
