Yow!! Slightly more than a cosmetic dent that one!!

It's a big frame at 61cm so that gives the dent a sense of scale but not of depth.
How far in to the tube does the dent go at the deepest point ?

That's like the grand canyon of dents. What hit you, Bella Emberg?

Jesus! Did someone run into the back of you??? Its smashed the wheel half way through the seat tube!

"it's possible the dent could be removed if you were to use a seat post for leverage, but I'm fairly sure this would weaken the integrity of the frame, and wouldn't advice it!"
Not possible.

It was dented when I brought it, have no idea how it happened!
Going to throw £80 posted out there, or offer! Must be worth something, or a gamble!
EDIT: Will measure the depth of the dent tonight.

Did you leave it in front of a box of power bars when Hippy was around or did you lend it ChainBreaker?

Will do, in the photo above of it built, that's a full size 410mm thomson post in as far as it will go. Will measure later.
Cheers

Right, brought this frame about 3 months ago now and it was dented when I brought it, due to sourcing parts etc, I've only just managed to finish building it, taken it for 3 rides of around 40 miles each and it's too f-ing small!
As you will see in the pictures below, it has a big dent in the seat tube, currently I have ridden it with no problems, or budging, creaking, feels very solid and responsive etc, so I think it's safe to ride, and it doesn't seem to be getting any worse. But I can't guarantee this, if you buy, it's your risk! it's possible the dent could be removed if you were to use a seat post for leverage, but I'm fairly sure this would weaken the integrity of the frame, and wouldn't advice it! The dent has no paint chipping, or cracking of any kind around it so it is literally a cosmetic dent as far as I can tell.
The frame size is large, 61cm, colour is black, and excluding the dent it's in very good condition, a few tiny scratches but very good condition otherwise.
I will include the headset I got for it, as it was a bitch to find one to fit the frame perfectly, it's a cane creek one, cost £40, but took some finding/trial and error and a lot of precise measuring, one of the main reasons it took so long to build.

I'm based in Bath and work in Bristol, so I can either post for £15 or can deliver within the area, viewings welcome.

**I have no idea what it's worth in this state, so I'm open to offers on it. **
