Hi all,
Quick question, recently some bugger tried to steal my mash and tried jimmying the lock against the frame, it held but it's dented and slightly buckled my top tube. The dent is approx 3mm deep and the buggle approximately 1mm bulging.
I'd like to know the following:
How much does this sort of problem affect light aluminium frames longevity?
How much does it impact the resale price (other than this dent the bike is perfect)
Is it possible to fix? I work with composites and thought I could CF wrap the tube, has anyone tried this method or are there easier ones already?
Thanks
Dan
p.s. kinda now want to sell this frame.....
