Is this tiny dent fatal?
So I went to buy the frame/fork I posted about the other day and I noticed a very small dent that may have been made by the front derailer getting clamped down too tight or getting bonked. It's a pretty small dent, but I just wanted to make sure it wasn't dangerous before I drop $180 bucks on it. What do you think?
Here's the original thread, fwiw: https://www.bikeforums.net/mountain-biking/260569-how-much-should-i-pay-frame-fork.html

Don't worry its just only a small dent caused by overtightened. You should worry if it has a hairline crack. But for now just rock the trail sir.

I wouldn't worry about it. Ride hard brother! My frame is dented much more severely and will most likely see harding riding than that and I'm not worried about frame failure.
