Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Bluesky Threads I have a cinelli vigorelli steel disc with a handlebar dent from a crash, it is about an inch long indentation on the side of the top tube. Fine to fill and cover the eyesore with a sticker? Or is this serious damage? Thanks! by AdEven2404 Bicycling Bike Bike Repair Biking Cycling Repair

It’s steel. It’s fine.
Steel. Is. Real.
That is just patina on a steel frame
Not a problem.
