Just my luck, getting ready for a rare day off ride in the peaks in glorious weather and I found a huge dent in my downtube which I imagine is form when my missus drove our car into a solidly built stone garage with the bike clamped on top- its exactly where the rack clamp goes
The frame is an old Raleigh rsp titanium and the dent is the the whole tube ( quite thick semi aero) and about 5mm deep
I wouldn't normally worry but I'm heavy, use it for sprint training so quite a bit of force, and was planning to ride some seriously steep hills
Safe or not? I'm going or a run while I decide!
