My first reccommendation is to leave the dent alone. Just ignore it. Good
chance it isn't worth messing up the frame, unless the bike needs a repaint.
If you must do something just putty it and do the best you can in the
smallest area possible. Touch up if you must. Don't drill a hole and pull it
out. I don't have time to explain why any number of approaches are a waste
of time. OTOH, a hydrolic pressure technique is reported to work. I may
investigate this system once we're up and running at the new Vintage Cycle
Studios.
