Late to this rather fascinating discussion. Oh no, that was no
unintentional oversight, that was a conscience in poor working order. I
have to credit the seller though for the quality of his purple prose; he
could get a good job in marketing, not just for the writing but for the

Question for the frame building experts. Obviously the damaged frame
wasn't repaired by replacing the bent tubes with new tubes etc... So, what

Hello,
I contacted the seller. This bike was put on my radar by a friend who is
looking to make his Rivendell dream come true.
The conversation with the seller was kind of weird in my opinion.
Here's how it went:
*Me*:Hey, was the frame in an accident?
