30-40 miles a day on this apparently - cracked headtube content

[d8mok]

I do like a bit of Fb marketplace. Cheap bikes but also some right rubbish.

Apparently she does 30-40 miles daily on this beauty with its cracked headtube ( not sure I’ve seen worse) and it’ll better with clean she says.

Nah, that's just cracks in the paint. She says so.

BOAB.

Worth asking if she's willing to put her money where her mouth is and if she'll cover any dental bills if it fails.

How the hell does a headtube get that cracked? Frontal impact at some point? Tubing fabrication defect?

I reckon when's she's in a hospital bed being shown her skull X ray she'll tell the doctor nah that's just just one of my hairs it's fine nothing but a scratch!

Ingnorance! Plain bloody minded stupidly audacious ingnorance...I'd imagine the headset has to be adjusted quite frequently
It really is one pothole from a pole vault face plant.
I think someone should arrange to go see the bike and just put it out of its misery in a public service fashion!
