Got the frame today and it looks like this might be salvagable. The dent is hardly visible without the child carrier but there is some bulging when checked with a caliper.
Made a project thread in the C&V section for those wanting to see more pictures and how the un-denting goes in the future.

Thank you all for your input.


Slightly dented on top


Barely dented below


29mm tube in the rear


31mm around the dent


27 up down around the dent


Spider underneath


But all in all a great basis for a project.
