Oh FEK- this thread gi=ves me nightmares
In my case I went to the Police as it was deception, not sure i is in your case, however, I'd take the time to acquaint Mr Plod with what's gone on as there may be an interest. At the very least they'll give the straight answer on what to do, where to go.
Beyond there - is the frame repairable? You could take the cost of that off the £450 - with a receipted estimate of course.
The ideal circumstance for you is to return the frame to the arsehole and get your money back- is is faulty after all, however, as its a private saleand caveat emptor - buyer beware, you may be lumbered.
I'd stick out not paying the rest of the money and let him go legal- I don't think a Paralegal would be interested when he/she finds out the catastrophic fault.
