Greetings all, My name is Duncan Granger, and I have been lurking on the list for about a month, since I bought a 1974 Jack Taylor on the bay (http://ebay.com/<blah> Anyway, enough about me. Here's my dilemma: The Jack Taylor has two dents on the right side of the top tube (probably from the bar hitting the tube in a crash). The larger one is about the size of a nickel, and a couple to three milimeters deep. I am taking the frame up to Tom Kellog at Spectrum Cycles this weekend on my way to the swap meet at the Lehigh Valley velodrome (aside to Tom Adams - count my brother and I in on the ride) for a re-paint (it's already been repainted once, a metallic silver). With Tom K's paint and Bob Freeman's transfers, I hope to restore it to most of its' former glory. Tom says he can patch the top tube or replace it. Assuming he gives the frame a clean bill of health structurally, I am leaning toward having the dents filled. I would like to keep the bike as original as possible. So what's your vote? Should I have the top tube repaired or replaced? Why or why not? I value your opinions (maybe that's my first mistake :-)). Thanks in advance, Duncan "on the horns of a dilemma" Granger Lancaster, PA
