Dent in CAAD 4. Is it Rideable???Andy

There is a penny size dent on the downtube on the side right around by the e in cannondale about equal to were the bottom screw is for the water bottle. I plan on taking it into the shop and have them look at it. the only thing i found in the owners manual was about cracks and nothing about dents. I assume that i shouldn't ride it but was just wondering.

It's rideable, probably not warrantee-able, so you've got nothing to lose. Unless, of course, you don't feel safe and want to give the frame to me.
This is one of the downsides to state of the art lightened tubesets- they are like beer cans in the middle. That's all good for a frame to last you 3-4 years (till all the components are shot and out of date) but not for a "lifer". I'd love to be able to afford a CAAD4-6, tho. Sweet rides.
