Hello everyone...
Just joined the forum...I already have a "repair" question.
I own a Guercioti Sl/all Campy, vintage @ 1988...I've managed to
put a small dent/indentation in the top tube. The bike was leaned
against something...fell over. The "dent" is about the size of the tip
of a little finger...about midway down the top tube...not serious
looking at all...I would say (in my uninformed opinion) cosmetic.
Paint is not chipped...just a small "pucker" or dent. Paint is Imron,
from Ten Speed Drive Imports, Florida.
My question...Should I attempt to have this repaired at all, or
should I just leave it alone and ride? I've contacted two local high-end
bike shops in my area (Cleveland), and both of them said "shouldn't
be a problem...if it's that small, leave it alone". One fellow rider I
showed it to, however, suggested that I take it to an auto body
shop, and have them "pop out" the small dent. Is this even possible?
What do you folks think? Any others out there with similar experiences?
Thanks in advance for any advice you guys may have!
CJ
