What a bozo. I'll have to agree with the second part of roughrider504's statement.

Did he do this simply to have material to braze together? If so that is completely idiotic. Actually, I can't think of a non-idiotic reason for this if it's not a repair, which wouldn't be done like that in the first place. It took me forever to find a good touring bike, and he cuts one to pieces just for the heck of it.

I'm disgusted. So many POS bikes in the world, and he has to hack the s&*% out of a nice one. Yuk.

I'd call that guy an idiot, but that would be an insult to idiots.
