Like New?

I came across an ad for a used bike. Several photos were posted, all of them very poor, but this one is the best. He claims it's in new condition and is asking $250 for it. (£175). I know bikes are in short supply but someone would have to be desperate to buy this. Apart from the horrible color, it has no markings to show who made it. It might even be a home paint job. And the tires have seen better days.

Erm....no.

And I suppose the large dent is where he had trouble getting the price sticker off

I like the "beaten with a mallet" motif on the top tube, and the rattle can respray with added overspray into the cage mounts.

Yup, that's a "stinker of the week" contender!

Maybe it's the bottle bolts that are like new. The frame and wheels are just packaging for them.

His slippers are in better condition

The colour is actually its only redeeming feature

It will turn left well with that bent top tube. Not so sure about going right !
