 Learn to type properly so you don't sound like a caveman..... The dent caused the paint to chip. I have sealed the paint chip with clear nail polish to prevent further chipping.

 take it easy man ... i was just asking and i tried to sound like a native american, because in the time of cavemans , they would not talk like so, it doesn't matter if the paint chips away , your frame has a dent, therefore it is no longer ride worthy. if you do not believe me, perhaps you should study physics, i'd say pre-university ones, that is where u learn about the force and weight distributions, but anyways thank you for finding some time in your busy schedule to answer a simple question in a most mature way possible.

 Not ride worthy? To some degree there is a loss of strength in the frame but that loss isnt noticeable. You want to know why? Because I have continued to ride this bike nearly a year after the dent occured; with no problems. The bike has been on dirt, in skate parks and street with nothing affecting the frame. So I'm sorry but your wrong in saying its "not ride worthy". I have owned two bikes with dents that have never failed me and I know many riders whose frames have dents that have had no problems either.

I just want people to know what they are buying and am being honest. I want to make sure the future owner knows what they are getting and that they are happy with their purchase. You clearly dislike the fact that my bike has a dent and have no interest in buying it so yeah.... I have no problem answering questions but don't say my bike isnt ride worthy when it clearly is.

 I'm not hating in any way, but u never know when a frame might snap on you, also it depends where the dent is, um im not going to go into scientific language because it is hard to understand, but ill put it in a very simple way; if u stand on an empty pepsi can and someone gives a slight tap on the can, the can will collapse, basically the same thing might and maybe will happen to the frame except of collapsing it will most likely snap in two depending on the location on the dent.

look if it doesn't snap .... great, i am just saying that it might
