I have this Specialized Allez Cromo. Was stripping it down to repaint it and noticed these dents. Is it safe to ride? Worth the paint job?
I plan on getting a new bike but wanted to have a small project to work on. What do you all think?

Those are original to the manufacturing and are intentional.
Done by the manufacturer to increase chain ring clearance. No issue for riding 🙂
The big dent that is closest to the rear dropouts is from the manufacturer and completely fine. The tiny ones closer to the bottom bracket will be fine in my opinion. Steel frames are very robust
