Does this chainstay look bent to you?

I think it is but all I've got is this photo. I can probably get another. Don't want to make a mistake 300 miles away.

From here it looks WAY bent, and the seat stay on the other side as well. What is it?

 

[JLarkin]

Huffy.

Odd looking, but if it were bent I would think that the wheel would be pulled way over to that side as the stays would really be uneven.

I will know soon.

definatly looks bent. really looks interesting at the right rear dropout, but maybe its just the angle. i have a really good eye (normally) for things like that. im the guy who takes like 20-30 minutes easily centering the wheels on my bikes "dead-on-....-acurate".

I don't think it is bent. I saw a frame like that last night at the bike coop. The seat stay and chainstay join at the dropouts really funky. Almost squared off like the Murray Eliminators.

Junk.

Look at how it shadows the chain is the best clue. And it's bent at a critical area where the dropout meets the chainstay.

Its steel, you could probably bend it back as it doesn't look too far out.

Another alignment freak! 8) Keep the faith, bro. :wink:

I asked the seller the question and as expected, no response. So much for power sellers. :roll:
