Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Bluesky Threads Caught a bike thief trying to pry my u-lock of by pulling against the frame. Chased him off, but unfortunately he left a small dent in the top tube. It’s a steel frame. Is this something I should be worried about? by __seadog__ Bicycling Bike Bike Repair Biking Cycling Repair
