My setup
-
I'll take one tomorrow. It is a bit of an arseache and you may well lose some anodising off the bar. I had to pry the bar-end clamp slightly open with a big flat-bladed screwdriver to get it round the bend.
-
I stuck a pair of straight short bar-ends on an On-One Mary bar, which is set quite high. Because the bars have a big crank forward before the sweep back the bar-end point inward at about 30 degrees. It's a really nice option to have, mostly when I'm cycling into a headwind or want to tuck out of the rain. Because the handlebar is set so high the position on them is a bit like a raised aero bar.

No problems with the threads on any frame as far as we could see. We can easily test fit a BB to check.
-
It's not dented as far as I could see. Chips in the thick layer of black paint could make it look like it is. If there's a particular area you're referring to let me know and I'll see about getting further photos.

Community Cycleworks is a not for profit organisation that runs build-a-bike courses, bikefix, and road and mountain biking rideouts, for young people in the London Borough of Southwark and beyond. Over the years we've built up quite a stock of bikes and frames that have been donated or recycled. It's time for a clearout, we'll be updating the thread regularly so check back for new items and price drops. All proceeds go back into Community Cycleworks projects. Dibs then PM please. Collection from Burgess Park, best time is noon-7pm on a Friday.
Lots more to come and stuff that is not listed including kids bikes, step-through town bikes, basic MTBs that would be perfect for pub bikes, and some real vintage "barn finds". Lots of bikes have been refurbed with new components by qualified mechanics, other stuff is sold as is. Feel free to send me a message if you're after something specific. We're having a big bike sale at the Giraffe House in Burgess Park from about noon on Saturday 7th July. Pop along for a bargain.
Frames:
Bob Jackson track frame 57 (seat tube ctc) x 56 (top tube ctc)- Lovely light frame with cut-out lugs and chrome forks. Drilled for front brake only. This has been rattlecanned at some point, so would made a great rat, or could be stripped and sprayed for a really nice track bike. £100 https://imgur.com/a/dMOfYOK
Saracen mountain/monstour frame for 26" wheels 40(seat tube ctc)/45(seat tube ctt) x 52 (top tube ctc)- Old-schools steel frame that could be built up into an awesome bike for touring and expeditions. Lots of clearance and eyelets for racks and mudguards. Includes seatpost, headset and mechs. £50 https://imgur.com/a/jWH97mM
Raleigh step-through frame 46(seat tube ctt) x 52 (top tube ctc)- Definitely a beater as it stands, but decent steel as it has forged, rather than pressed dropouts. Nice project for a town bike £20 https://imgur.com/a/bmL7EkB

Not good for me either
We tested the BB threads on the Bob Jackson, they're definitely fine. A few more frames to be added shortly. Watch this space!
