thanks for your advice. to be honest he did mention a small knob in the thread but i couldnt really see from the pics how bad it was. when i got the frame i noticed it is quite a considerable bump and on closer inspection of the pics (which admittedly i should have done before purchasing the thing!) you can see a fair bit of damage (the second pic i linked where the light hits the frame). after a bit of research and expert opinion (including my LBS) i think it is safe to assume this frame has experienced major frontal impact and is "worse than fucked".
partly my fault for not being as careful as i should have but i feel the seller has kinda overlooked the damage a wee bit and has advertised a damaged from for sale without mentioning the extent of the damage. waiting to hear back from him so dont wanna paint him in a bad light as he might help me out here...
