How about this one...?
As you can see, it's a very (very) big dent, the seat stay is basically folded in half, as well as flattened outwards and kinked. Plus the dent is at the bottom of the tube, next to the dropout, which according to Prof Google is a typical failure point.
On the other hand, the frame is a "bombproof" Charge Plug, made of the finest Taiwanese steel.
Can I still ride this? If not, is it worth trying to fix it, or is it a write-off?
