It looks like a goner. I could imagine compressive forces would just buckle that when you hit a bump...

I would consider that frame worthy of passing on to life as a boat anchor.

I've seen quotes of $110 to replace a top tube...
An example (I have no idea if these guys are any good or not)

Doesn't seem that bad to me at all. I think it's ok to ride it. Hell, I wouldn't mind riding it at all.
I've seen and ridden aluminum bikes with alot bigger dents in the top tube.
