Had a crash on a downhill course...yeah yeah...trance not meant for dh, but it's a beginner's course, nothing hectic etc.

What do you guys think of the dent? The paint chip should not be a problem to get fixed, but the dent? Should I worry? Should I try to get it fixed? Or just leave it?

that sucks...Does Giant offer a crash replacement warranty?...or a warranty adjustment to help replace the frame?

Some mfg's do

I know that Specialized will X-ray a frame to check for internal cracks, perhaps Giant will as well

Good luck with this

That seatpost doesnt look too happy either...or is that just my eyes because Thomson DONT do that...
