This lad who is normaly protty bad got it off his dads mate for having a good term or something at school ! The person who had it first upgraded to a cove stiffe and got a full build so he made a bike up for this other lad and then he got bored with it and desided that he wanted to sell it ! So i offered him 20 and he said ye lol ..

You can't just go stating that without tellin' us the almost certainly funny story behind it ... what happened ?

Well my friend decided it'd be a good idea to bunnyhop onto a bin and try to gap from one side of it to the other (it was one of the concrete bins with an open top). He got his run up and cruised along steadily before bunnyhopping what, at the time was one of the biggest bunnyhops he'd ever done. He sailed it and looked to land cleanly and smoothly, albeit not quite centrally on the bin. I guess we both thought he'd done alright and was ready to gap the edges and drop off it again. Unfortunately, neither of us had realised he'd twisted the rear triangle in about 3 different ways... and that his wheel was now stuck against the side of his frame. Imagine our suprise when he went to gap and instead of pulling off the easy little hop we'd both seen coming he actually bounced almost straight upwards and only travelling half the distance, like some kind of elitist pogo stick rider. He managed to quite gloriously get the rear wheel stuck inside the bin twisting the frame yet again, only now the wheel was free to move a bit. He was sat there with his wheel completely in the bin still mounted properly on the bike when the thing starts slowly falling backwards pivoting on the axle. He held on to the bike still right up until the point where he hit the floor and left the bike still wedged in the bin.

Upon taking it out we could see the rear triangle was twisted entirely to the left so where the back wheel should be straight and inline with the toptube it actually pointed right. The left and right dropouts were also at different heights, meaning the wheel was sloped as well.

The frame got thrown in the skip :lol:
