CoMotion Espresso Frame
Howdy. I'm wondering what you all think this frame (not the whole bike) is worth with that big ol' dent in the top tube. There's some paint cracking at the top and bottom of the dent that isn't really visible in the photos. I don't think that fork is oringial and the sale probably would be just the frame without the fork and headset. 853 TIG welded tubing. Thanks!

is that from the handlebars? I am not familiar with 853, but I recall the 753 bikes in the early '90s got dented pretty easy by the bars.
a frame builder or a shop with the right tools and gruff od mechanic/owner in his late 50s might be able to fix that, but it does look like it has a nice crease on the bottom.
I don't know if I could sell that, even if I had it repaired, I just wouldn't feel right. I certainlt would not buy it with that dent
