It’s just a dent, I don’t think thats makes you frame structurally compromised. Keep riding it, you’ll forget about it

Bent/Dented tubing in any structure is no good, likely this would fail FEA. esp in high kinetic environment. Idk FAFO

100%. The bike I am sending around Whistler every day is a Stumpjumper Evo alloy with a big dent in the down tube near bottom bracket for 3 years now. https://youtu.be/1ZX6ATlQsA4?si=pC0z_Z0H-r1y753d

I’d sell it to someone who thinks it’s fine and buy a new frame/bike.
