I had a similar misfortune with my Mercian recently (following a crash with another cyclist), it's as subtle as on this Roberts, except visible on both the DT and TT.
I rode the bike without noticing anything for couple of weeks after the crash, it was definitely rideable.
I wouldn't personally buy and ride that Roberts without fixing it straight away, so I hope you can get it for really really cheap...

I’m likely purchasing this frameset/headset quite soon. Owner has a nice collection of handmade British bikes and is willing to let go of this one. The top tube appears bent, but no other visible damage anywhere on the frame which is strange. If it tracks straight once built, I imagine it will be OK. May look into having that tube replaced down the road. From what I understood from conversation with the seller, the price will be too good to pass up.
