OK, so lets not get dragged into the circumstances but today I had a front ender on my steel bike and I need some opinions on whether its safe to keep riding it.
I can definitely feel the difference in the ride and the front wheel is a few mm closer to me.
There are distinct lumps on the underside of the top and down tubes (see pics), though its just one lump in each case, rather than a load of ripples.
The paint work and welds are not affected.
Should I keep riding it?
Is it worth trying to get someone to bend it out/ is it even possible so close to the welds?
Any thoughts?
