Dent removal, can it be done?

sounds a plan

why did you go ahead with purchase ?

I'd travelled 80 miles (each way) to collect the bike and although I was disappointed to find the dent which wasn't mentioned before, the bike was a good price so I didn't want to leave it.

I make my living from fixing dents without the use of paint or filler, there would be no way for me to get a tool in there and the possibility of glue pulling is unlikely.

A picture would be nice, as we could all give you better advice from that.

Just off to Lincoln now to fix some dents in a truck of some decription at one of the garages.

Just an update, I thought I'd have a go at that dent today.
I remembered I have an old panel beating kit in the garage so I held a dolly at one end of the dent and with careful application of a small hammer at the other end the dent has almost popped completely out!
You can still see a ripple if you look down the top tube but it's not very noticeable now & you can hardly feel it, big improvement.
