There is a sizable dent on one of the blades. It doesn't appear to be creased but that is where it looks like it throws the alignment off. I didn't receive a back story on how this happened and I really am not sure why it did. I believe I'm right in assuming that it would be bad if it bends where the steerer tube enters the crown and I'm not certain if it does. Regardless it would be great to cold set it back to a usable state if the price were right. It was a really nice one IMO and no other will fit this frame as well. Did the best I could with pic's but sort of hard to capture that dent correctly.
