Looking at an old raleigh frame, theres a bit of a dent in the down tube. Is this to be avoided or can it be rectified easily?

How bad is the dent?

Gut reaction: If it is a free frame, take it. If paying for it, save your money.

Unlikely to do any harm imo unless the downtube was hit hard enough to actually bend the whole pipe rather than just dent it. There's a dent underneath the top tube of my Carlton and it doesn't make the slightest difference to the way the bike rides.
