No...
If go to this link,

you can see the pictures Mark Agree posted when he was selling the frame that clearly show the problem. Mark had never built the bike, so he could not tell me if it was a problem. He bought it from someone who claimed to have ridden it and never noticed the problem. Actually I kind of bought it by accident. Mark had a real reasonable price on it (eBay) and no one had bid. I figured I would try to help him out and put a bid on it, figuring it would get the ball rolling. I was the only bidder.
If you go to this link,

you can see the bike as I built it. As I said, rides fine. I think Mark is over his seller's remorse. :-)

Uh, not quite completely over it ... but getting there! :) Actually, I'm VERY glad that it turned out to ride so well for Lynn. Anyway, it's totally OK, as I just picked up a 54cm Team Raleigh from about 1975 (serial number SB 359), with a dent in the top tube and a split in the wedge area of the steerer, but the price was also - just right!
