love my bike feels so solid to ride, as for dents i cant make any judement on them so far , i have cut piece of hoose pipe on my chainstay so have yet to dent that, just make sure to tighten every single thing on the bike, specially the hose bolts thats connect to the hope caliper these were obviously not done up enough ended up having them leak slightly but noticed quick enough to not get any serious contamination, also check the headset as mine came with minimal grease,the paint seems to be very flakey as soon as you hit it it will fall off pritty much, but overall im really enjoying riding the hydroxx will have to see if theres any problems with the frame later on when ive riden it some more, everyone whos tried it so far seems to love it though
