besides, you could always straighten it with a block of wood, after all it is steel.

and a lump hammer.....
YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can be straightened properly at some cost, then will be a lovely frame, (Bob Jackson, Mercian or Argos will fix) until then.....dangerous.

it's not dangerous at all. please stop spreading false information in my classified.

as long as there isn't a crimp/crease in the tube it's not dangerous. stays are often bent on purpose.

I'm bent and I'm not dangerous

no crease in the tubing, not crimped. it would take you about 2 minutes to straighten if you were that bothered.
just stand on it.

steel is really hardy and able to 'give'. it's really good in tension hence why they make bridges out of it. for a metal it's very malleable, which is why it makes comfortable bicycles. as Mr. Smith rightly says, unless there's anything dodgy happening the we can't quite see, it's extremely unlikely that it'd be dangerous in any way.
stunning frame, excellent price and would make super-sweet fixie! just don't spraypaint it.
EDIT: and oh yeah, think of the puppies!

This Colnago's 25 years old with original paint so there are likely to be some scratches.
The seat stay is easily fixed by a builder, without replacing it, or you can slowly do it yourself.
Some were willing to spend twice this for a damaged Cinelli a few weeks ago.
Good value for a great classic collectable Italian frame.
