I am assuming the price is a result of some of the unique features? brakes on both sides of the handlebars! gears that you can move to different speeds!

Since this thing is completely F'd, why do they imagine it has any value? It's too big to use as a paperweight.

I want to know the backstory, what kind of mad max scenario got the frame into this state?
I once had a bike blow off my trunk-mounted car rack on the freeway because I was a dumbass and forgot to use the straps, but in that case the damage was all sustained by tacoing the back wheel, the frame (Surly CrossCheck) is fine
