Titanium frame, dent in seat stay
I'm looking at buying a used (10yr old) titanium hardtail frame. It has the usual scratches I'd expect to see, but there is also a small dent (like it came down on the tip of a sharp rock, or was shot with a bb gun) in the upper part of one of the seat stays. Should I stay away? Anyone have any advice on how this might affect the ride, lifespan, and/or value of the frame? Thanks all,
