The stem could have been worn as it is the prime grip for 'walking the bike'. But the frames on several of the pics are worn equally. When they should be more worn in certain areas (like under the down tube, bloody road grit).
Puppy killing has moved on to mere puppy physical abuse.
For shame!
Most of the wear is probably from locking up with a chain all day long. I think most of these bikes were/are messenger's bikes.
