That is a big dent, it must have taken quite a whack to do that! I’d have a measure up and check the back end is still square. Assuming it’s still square:
If it’s steel, I’d be inclined to just leave it and run it as a beater. If it’s Ti, leave it because it’ll be a wild expensive repair but do keep a close eye because longer term it might develop a crack.
It’s tange mtb steel. I have literally no idea how you can get a dent there. I had the thought it may have been from someone trying to get the seatpost out. Will likely just run it as a beater, it’s still square. Won’t be doing any big trails or drops.
