I think @citizenshane is right. The accumulation of the odd geometry, the suspicious dent and the toe overlap just means riding this frame would feel unsafe.
That's not to say a horrible crash would be inevitable, but there's certainly the possibility, and that's enough to make it not worth it in my eyes. Plus, even if it was absolutely fine for as long as I had it, I would always know there was something untoward, and that would always leave a bit of a sour taste.
It pains me to say it, but as Bevin doesn't feel comfortable riding it, then he's not comfortable selling it to someone else to ride, and I respect that.
