The chainstays look "squished", paint cracked and some nice dents. That's good news though, and confirms what I read elsewhere, that such damage isn't frame stability threatening. And that welding something new onto the stays would weaken it. Thousands of miles touring over the last ten years and only now do I learn the danger of kickstands to bike frames.. the hard way! oh well! thanks!
