Well I went to a bike swap this morning, finally found a bike my size and something I liked after looking for a long time. Looked it over, measured it, talked to the guy for a bit (though he sounded stright) ended up buying it for $100, got home and started looking it over more closely and find out it's bent!!! F###!! I don't know how I missed it at the swap before I forked over the money but I'm sure the guy in long gone by now or will play stupid if I could find him. Bad lighting, excitment of finding it, you know the feeling. Well what do you guys think, safe to ride or not? The bend is mainly on the underside of the top tube a few inches in front of the Falcon sticker. It is a steel frame so I think it may be still safe to ride but like I said what do you BIKERS out there think? Thanks

wheres the bent?....its just probably the style

 

I wouldn't personally trust it

 

The bends in the headtube

 

i saw a frame like that in the woods today. i'm going to grab it, paint it funny and hang it on my wall.

 

Thumbs up or down? Cleaning it right now

 

up up and away

 

a bend like that is from a front collison with something, my guess is a car. the frame probably wont buckle, but just think about how bad the geometry is going to be once its built. it wont TURN right.

 

dope frame

 

if thats a fixed gear bike, why does that look like a deralliuer mount on the right rear drop out?
