Local Barracuda

Saw this for sale on local Gumtree.

I am guessing this frame is alloy, so the guy must have had balls of steel if he manged to bend it like this.
Still, must have been very painful.

I wonder what the sales blurb is for designing something like that?

It's a modern day (ish) barracuda, the design blurb will have gone "hay, they've got a curved top tube on that one, we should do that".

the sales blurb, I guess it mirrors the ladies version (in fact I think all they did was rotate the top tube). so you could say his and hers matching bike?

to be fair, the saddle looks rather uncomfortable too.

You mean it's meant to be this fugly, and it's not an imprint of some poor fella's nuts after hitting the top tube in an accident?

only if he did it on purpose in the factory. poor guy, a few thousands frames was all he had in him.
