So I recently acquired a used 58cm Saluki off the List here. I thought that it would be a good choice because I love the classic look of the Homer but at $1200 shipped I would be able to save almost 1k. Seller insisted bike was perfect but when it came it had a ding in the downtube and a small dent in the chainstay by the BB shell where it looks like a chain dropped and got caught up in the crankset. Now the ding in the downtube doesnt bother me because it is really small and barelly visible but I know the BB is under alot of flex and just hope that it is gonna be ok to ride this thing long term. I really just need to be talked down before I flip the frame for 1k and lose 200 or ship it back to Cali and have the tube replaced and bike repainted and spend over 500 bucks. Here is a link for the pics I took of the damage, just looking for opinions here. http://www.flickr.com/photos/67889635@N06/?saved=1
Just really disappointed that i thought i was getting something I could ride for a long time and now feeling doubtful about its long- term viablilty. Any opinions and thoughts would be welcome.
