I'm not feeling at all good about the dent. The more I look at it, the more I think that the downtube was starting to buckle as the headtube was trying to rotate back. It probably wouldn't take much to make it give way. I'm guessing that light-duty riding might be ok, but running under load is not something I want to do.

I keep going back and looking at the Soma Saga pictures. It's a really nice-looking bike.
