Looking for a second opinion on this. I've just had it returned to be by someone whose mechanic tells them it has been crashed badly and will probably need a new top and down tube, and that there is a stress fracture in the top tube (that black stuff is from where shifters were attached), and a bend in the down tube.
I've just taken these photos and I'm struggling to make out what they're talking about. Forks and front wheel are original, btw.
I do kind of see it in the last photo, but there doesn't seem to be any other evidence of a collision. The other tubes are completely straight.
