Decided to give my old dirt jump mtb some tlc, remembered about the dent in the top tube when someone had a go at my lock back in the day.. I'd covered it up with duct tape at the time and ridden it fine without worrying, but looking at it again now it looks a bit dodgy. Basically I'm wondering if it's worth getting the thing resprayed etc (there's quite a bit of surface rust too) or would it just be a waste of money? The dent's about the size of my thumb and about 4 mm deep, the other side of the tube doesn't look to be deformed at all. Frame's a steel dmr trailstar so pretty tough..
