      It’s steel bro, fucking send it. But seriously as long as the frame is still in alignment I wouldn’t hesitate to ride it. Steel can withstand significant abuse and even when it does fail it usually happens so slowly that you have plenty of time to stop riding.

      Don’t worry about it! Keep it lubed and protected from rust (touch up paint?) and keep on rollin’ 👌

      I dented the top tube on my 1997 Merckx Corsa about 25 years ago. The dent was the size of my thumb. It sent it to a frame shop and he inspected, filled, and painted over it. I’ve put 65k miles on it since then with no issues.
