• IMHO dents are overrated. unless the straightness of the frame is affected by the dents.
    it's not like the frame is going to suddenly snap because of them.

    As I understand it this is exactly what happens - obviously it depends on the size, position and shape of the damage. You'd be well advised to check any dents on a frame.

    Having said that, if a framebuilder was happy to fill the dent rather than replace the tube hten it's obviously ok.
