For Sale: Bianchi Pista frameset BENT

Bianchi pista chrome size 53.
Selling this for my flatmate, he bought it a few years ago, used for about a month before crashing and giving up cycling.
The frame looks ok, no major scratches, dents etc. but after being checked by cycle Surgery it was declared bent and unsafe to ride.
The frame doesn't LOOK bent, this is a steel frame and I'm sure a lot of people would try to bend it back and ride it - personally I'm not sure it is safe, hence the very low price: £90.

Where exactly is the bend in the frame supposed to be ?

Not 100% sure but i think it's on the rear triangle

Sorry not sure what you mean with "headset twisted"?

What was the manner of the crash?

Perfect beater!, good price.

Innit!

What was the manner of the crash?

skidz?

The crash was very weird. The guy messed up with a toe rope and flipped over the bars. So it didnt really hit anything with the front wheel, just smashed the back of the bike to the ground... after his face of course. Hope this helps?!

Too bad it's too big for me.

I guess you can see the damage from this pic http://www.flickr.com/photos/65072266@N08/11027748885/in/set-72157638003486025/ looks a bit crooked.

The rear triangle is bent but you could get it re-tracked by a frame builder for about 40 quid. That said, it is not a really well built frame, the seat tube is prone to cracking.

hmm

90 bob for a bent frame? Really?

n1

so an extra 40 pounds to make it safe and ridable? doesnt sound too bad

Nice frame decent price... GLWS

Undibs, too small for me GLWS.
