Excellent recovery

Thanks for all the nice comments guys.

Got it done by a guy called Bryan Purves, website here

He's a reslly nice guy, knows what he's doing and very honest and helpful. It cost £210 which I think wasn't bad considering he did all the prep, fixed the dent and a crack in the weld joining one of the brake bosses to the frame, and then plated it. He actually did it twice as he wasn't happy with his first effort....nice to see such pride in his work.

Cheers, think there must be something wrong with either the site or my phone

This would look even better with a Pace stem I think!

I was thinking the same thing, either that or an SK9 maybe

Well, its finished - except I might change the BB for one with a shorter axle as the chainline isn't perfect and the front mech is on the limit of its adjustment, and maybe some fatter tyres. Also worried it might look like it has been ridden through the X-Lite factory and come out the toher side covered in X-Lite parts :?
I'm really happy with how its turned out, especially given the state it was in when I got it. Just need some nice weather to take it for a ride now, and some better photos
