"I would have to see it to really let you know; it's kind of a subtle thing. Is it to small or to large to fit the headset cups? The tricky part is the metal will be stretched and may have to be shrunk after reshaping to get a good fit.…"

Repairing a dented head tube?

I recently picked up an older frame to build up, and the very top of the head tube is subtly dented. Appears fine with the naked eye, but it's enough so that a headset won't fit.I roughly measured the inner diameter and it seems to vary by about 1.5mm1" headtube, going to be a threaded headsetHow do I fix it,or should I have a shop fix it?See More

"I would get a used bike from craigslist (be sure it's not a stolen one though). Road bikes from the 80's tend to be cheap and awesome based on what I've experienced. I once had a Fuji Del Rey but it was stolen too :( "

You can probably imagine how that felt.I ran down the street and caught up with the guy and his friends and told him what was up. I should have called the cops right then, but I had a cold/cold medicine side effects, and was kind of in shock.They saw that I was in my socks (derp) and just…See More
