Has dent for 27 years


Working on hybridizing it


Head on from a little distance


Dent is lower right side of the head tube
I have a steel frame bike, 1991 model Ochsner , that I purchased new in 1992. It had a dent in the head tube when I purchased it. It still has the same dent that looks the same as the day I bought the bike. I still love to ride it and it has a lot of miles and a lot of other scratches and dings. I am in the process of hybridizing it now. I have no desire to restore it, I love it the way it is. It is now my just jump on and ride bike. Handles great, extremely comfortable and one of the quietest bike I have ever ridden. I attached some pics just so you could see it at 27 years old and still running strong.
