A bit of T-Cut will polish that out.

Been done!

It was a spy shot from the Santa Cruz black-box dept a few years ago.

I did that on a road bike when I was at school. Rode into skip (it was dark and raining). Front tyre was punctured by the chainwheel. Major bends in the frame and fork but the front wheel was fine.

My first DMR Switchback went that way. Shouldn't have been running rigid forks. The second has been good for 6 years now with 140mm forks.

Also proves how nails the simple wheel is, when hit at the right angle.

that's quite amazing how the DT has stayed more or less straight.

new top tube and it'll be good to go. 🙂
