Is it possible to repair a dent on frame? Hi, I found today dent on down tube (13/14cm from head tube).

I have two questions:


Is it possible to repair the frame?
Is it safe to ride the bike after this






Main frame is aluminum.

The dent is on the right side of tube and it's only one damage that I found. I bought this bike a time ago, but usually I store it in dark basement and didn't seen it before.
it could be fixed cosmetically, but not structurally.

but it's not recommended to fix it, bending it over and over will cause more and more Metal fatigue. and it's a hassle to do so.

about safety, most named brand is "ok to ride" under this condition, but there is luck involved. so it's a good idea to replace that.

why I say luck - all frame are slightly diffrent, even they look the same. some will break faster, some will hold on like it was nothing, and each rider's style will change the parameter. so no one can precisely predict the outcome.
