BigSexyWelshman on April 22, 2025 10:16 am Agree with others, wouldn’t even be mildly concerned about this.
Itchifanni250 on April 22, 2025 10:18 am Tis but a mere scratch, carry on riding until something happens.

If that’s a steel frame, the scratch could potentially disappear completely if you removed the paint. This isn’t some crazy thin road tubing either, I would be surprised if this in any way has structurally compromised the frame
