Dent in steel seat tube. Intervention needed??

[thefunkymunki]

I just took the child seat of my ‘95 Explosif (yes, I know already!) to find the clamp plus child weight had caused a couple of dents in the seat tube.

See pics.

What are people’s thoughts? Ok to ride? Needs rolling with frame blocks? Wall art?

Cheers

Remove paint, weld and grind/sand into submission.
It'll be fine.

Edit; Maybe even drill a hole in stress points and weld back.
Just don't drill nilly willy as that could make it worse.

just ride it, it hasn't collapsed with the extra weight of a child hung off it in a weird way.
