Do others see a bent seat tube, centered at the dropped "top tube"? It might be optical distortion from the camera but I've seen enough bent STs on ladies frames to not look for this too. This hinge point is why mixte frames are so much stiffer, their "top tubes" go past the ST and to the rear drop outs which move the compressive forces from a ST bending type to a drop out one. Andy
