I did email exactly that question today :) Even trying to be as cost effective as possible it’s going to be several hundred quid. So seems daft if I’m not happy with the result. I don’t know how badly the structural integrity is compromised by damage like this - pretty sure it’s been ridden with it for a while. Anyway replacing the tube is how I’m leaning. Then it’s good for another 60 years!

Can't beat a red frame. I too would remove the lever bosses, I see nothing wrong with the dropouts, however if I was going to go to all the trouble of respraying the frame I would definitely replace the toptube. Have you asked Argos what.they suggest?
