Looks like a bent top tube to me too. Hang it on the wall.

Will I just got done taking it apart and guess what, the bars are bent as well. Double DOH!!
They are not bad but it still adds to the pain.
I did take it to a local frame builder and he said that as a town bike it is fine but to not take it off road.
I am going to have to think about what to do.
Oh well, live and learn.
If it is too good to be true than it probably is.
Dangit! I really wanted this to work!

Re: .

could it possibly be repaired using compressed air to pop it out from inside

was about to say the same thing, Aluminium is very resilient , if the dent was towards the ends of the tube then I'd worry a bit

... a little dent repair and respray this would be (almost) good as new

on second look the top tube does look a bit skew-wiff :shock:

Lay it on the floor and stand on the opposite side Problem solved

trying to bend it back.

I agree. Aluminum doesn't love to be bend and rebend…
How is the geometry of the bike ?

The other problem is the color. Neon color is hard to respray-repair :?
