You can't say that because it looks kind of like a junky bike that you had once that it's definitely a horrible bike that has been chopped to bits by a blind dude with a blow torch.
lol, that's why i've said, in all of my posts, that i could be wrong, and he should have it checked out. it might not even be safe. i never said it's definitely a junk bike... just that it looks exactly like a rather old bike that i haven't found enough of a use for to build up.
regarding it being a road bike, i really doubt someone canti bosses onto some slack-ass gt road bike, but whatever, they went through the trouble to put track/bmx dropouts on some slack 4130 frame, maybe the previous owner had yamaguchi do it cause he was racing offroad in the olympics or whatever.
my only 2 points were that he didn't get the GT track frame he's been running around the forum bragging about and that he should have it checked out.
