My touring bike was written off by the shop. It has a tiny dent in the top tube. Technically the shop can't say if it's safe or not. I'd probably trust it. But I have a new bike now so it's academic...
Fair enough. When you say you'd trust it, do you mean the shop or the written off frame? Was the new bike from the insurance or were you getting it anyway?
