Hello everyone I bought a new bike, and I noticed on the frame this (rounded) bike I only rode on the road and never off road I rode it for a few days, when viewed from the top it is not noticeable but when viewed from the side you can see the depression and feel at hand

    If your referring to the small depression marked I wouldn't be worrying about it myself. It's quite possibly just a manufacturing blemish, dent. Some tubes are cropped and machined, hydroformed and as such you can't always get it 100%

    Thanks for your reply!
    Okay so I shouldn't worry? but it just scared me when i saw the bike ride the longer routes

    I wouldn't be worried about it either.
    If anyone asks just say you had some epic gnarly crash and ended up having to be cut down from a tree but that dent was the only damage to the bike :D

    I worry because the bike is new, it won't expand or anything like that?

    Only if you rub it while looking at pictures of people not wearing a lot of clothing.

    Not a problem. My guess is either a minor defect during tube forming or a minor warp caused during welding.
    A more expensive brand might have rejected it during quality control, which why they are more expensive!
