I was involved in a crash and I now hav a damaged top tube with a crease in the join head/top tube. Is it rideable or reapirable. Im getting a new bike on insurance but wonder if I could keep this s a second bike

    Not if you like your face the way it is.

    The cost of replacing the tubes and a respray doesn't make it worthwhile, unless it is a really good tube set.

    I wouldn't ride it as it is
    Recipe: shave legs sparingly, rub in embrocation and drizzle with freshly squeezed baby oil.

    It might be ridable but I wouldn't. Worse case scenario is that the front of the bike falls off at 30+mph.

    Insurance - Add contents of current account - Upgrade :lol:
