This is a great Japanese gem. Double butted Tange chromoly frame. Dura ace EX components. Beautiful ride but sadly, it got struck on the top tube by something that left a nasty dent. I’ve had several great great bikes in the past that have been marred by dents or dings. None have been anything crucial or structurally compromising but I personally just hate DENTS, scratches are okay but DENTS are a no no. With this bike though, and for the sake of this blog I’m going CNC some frame blocks and try to ease the dent out as much as I can. If any of you readers and experts have any other ideas let me know! |
