bent frames

is there a problem with buying a "slightly bent" frame? the guy said that it was bent near the neck. will it really make any difference when it comes to riding? thanks.

Umm.. I would put your money in your pocket, and slowly walk backwards toward the door. And then run away from the salesman.

If you paid me, I'd take it to the aluminum scrap yard

This falls in the run away category

Unless it is dirt cheap dont buy. You can have a frame straightened by gmd computrak, but it is exspensive I think.

Depends on the price. Is this a frame only or a complete bike? What is the asking price?

Re: bent frames (cbrman)

he was parting out the bike, and had the bent frame for sale. i didnt even ask how much for the frame bc i figured that a bent frame wasnt a good thing.
