As you can see from the pics below this bike has bent front forks and a dent in the front wheel. The rider ended up in sunken tramway tracks and came to a sudden stop.
I have inspected the frame and can see no kinks, rippling or broken paint at all. My plan was to replace the forks and front rim with original parts to return the bike to use. However Islabikes have stated in their opinion the aluminium around the headtube may have become brittle in the impact and could suffer a catastrophic failure if it was to be used. They are unable/unwilling to supply replacement forks or rim/wheel for it. The frame number is logged with them.
So I am selling this for parts only. The bike itself is in great condition and has seen low usage, the remaining parts are in great condition and would form a perfect base for a junior person build.
Selling for £60 collected from Bristol or I can look at postage but clearly that would be extra
To re-iterate this is FOR PARTS ONLY
