One of my friends has a Giant XTC (hardtail mtb) that got a massive dent in the down tube after it got crashed hard into a rock.

He continued to ride that bike hard for a couple more years until he got a dual suspension bike.

My commuter has a couple of dents. My DeRosa doesn't. It did but I had it painted a couple of years back & they were repaired then.
Now I'm jealous. My DeRosa got a dent in the top tube from the brake caliper the second week I had it. Went down hard on wet pavement. I've covered it up for 25 years with a piece of handlebar tape, an old trick to protect the top tube from the brake caliper in a crash. :idea:

My commuter also has ripples toward the top of the fork blades, from a head on crash into a brick wall. Frame builder bent it back out, and I've been riding it with complete confidence for about 20 years.

To OP, just keep the touch up paint handy:).
