Looking around for a 26" MTB, i find this horror.
I message the seller to tell them it is irresponsible to sell the bike with a bent fork saying there's nothing wrong with the bike.
They reply it is supposed to be like that… 🤦

Its definitely bent… Already paid for it?
I agree, that looks bad. Worth reporting to whatever platform this is on!
Either the seller _really_ doesn’t know what he’s talking about or he’s trying to cheat you. Regardless that’s a hard pass.
Looks like accident damage.
Might’ve even expanded the head tube with that impact
Its supposed to look like that after you hit a wall head on. Jeeez.
Had a bike like this in the shop the other day, underside of the down tube had actually split open and crumpled from the impact
one time I responded to seller on fb marketplace selling a bike with a similarly bent fork, explaining why it was dangerous and that someone riding it could get hurt. they took the posting down pretty quickly.
I think that most people wouldn’t knowingly sell something to someone else that would hurt them. it’s just that most people know close to nothing about bicycles.
It’s like that for extra stack height. How considerate!
