your problem will be.. that simplexNL told in the thread about the knob/bump..and people already said it doesnt look good... and you are showing his picture album as evidence..i heavilly doubt you didn't notice it before buying
on the other hand he said it should be no problem.. best thing i guess you could do is to find an experienced steel mechanic (or someone with good rep on the forum) and ask if it will be dangerous..because steel can handle quite some drama.. if he/she says its risky, you could consider asking for refund..
as a tip, there are some framebuilders in current projects that might be able to replace the tube for a slight cheaper price than a normal shop..
