Knackered!

  • While removing a friends bottom bracket I discovered this ! I don't think I've ever seen a part this bad, half the bearings have flat sides!

    Got me thinking , what's the most damaged, knackered , beyond repair part / bike you've ever come across? Pictures welcome ! ..

  • bought an old Raleigh superbe off ebay, went to collect, lifted it up out of the elderly owners shed and the front wheel and fork arms fell off leaving the fork crown and mudguard behind.

    I have a frame where the bottom bracket and headset have become one with the frame, zero moving parts - broke a bench vice trying to turn the headset lock ring

  • Haha! I hope you got a refund from the seller !

  • Working in a shop, we see too many knackered parts and frames to count!

    Though the best recent example I have is a rear rack where where the supports had been literally worn 3/4 of the way through from either a pannier or a u-lock that was carried on it for years and years.
