Yeah, a quick google gave me the idea of zip tieing the battery to the bottom of the vcls seatpost, and wrapping it with bubble wrap to prevent rattling.
A bit off topic - what's a good way of getting rid of this oxidisation/corrosion on the hub/spoke? Tried a toothbrush and some degreaser ,bur didn't want to budge. Wheels are Hunt carbon

Cheers - planning to spend a bit of time over coming days to clean it up and will post some better pics then.
Had a question regarding the di2 battery - I had the seatpost out yesterday, but the battery is not mounted in the bottom of it as expected, but only thrown down in the seat tube. Owner is telling me that Fairlight built it up for him, and he hasn't really touched the battery or had seatpost out. Is there any danger of the battery/wires getting damaged when just placed in the seat tube? I am thinking to buy the battery 'bung' and install the battery in the seatpost... as it usually is. Then again the current 'bodged' way would be nice for me because I have a canyon vcls split seatpost that I could use...

Hey all, looking at a second hand strael, but it has a bit of a dent on the seatstay. Midway up. Apparently was dented while in the back of a van, toppled over another bike. How much of a worry should this be? Can a dent alter the geo/alignment of the frame?
Edit - I guess my question really is how can I check myself if the frame is still good or not.

Had a few pm's regarding sizing.
I've measured again and the top tube, going along it, is 55cm ctc. Seat tube 57cm ctt.
Center of bb to top of saddle, as it's set up in pictures, going along the seta tube is 72cm.
I'm 175cm tall, and was riding it comfortably as it's set in the pictures.
I can't seem to find a geometry sheet for this model online.

Managed to take a few more snaps:

While having the wheels off, noticed they are quite light. Front is coming in at 1.3kg, and rear at 1.5kg that's with tyres, tubes, cog, locknut, as they stand.
And yes, slack chain ftl.
Here is my current setup with mudguards.
