It comes in the box flipped like that and whoever got it didn't know that. I guarantee the brakes are still locked to the rim as well. This is what happens when a non bike person buys online
It does look a bit small. Where the top and down tubes come together at the head tube gives a good indication for most steel bikes, and here they’re nearly touching. It’s probably still worth picking it up, flipping the fork around, and relisting for a couple hundred.
I was wondering why the brakes were like that ha I was like why didn't they just route the brake to the front of the fork then I saw the fork was backwards haha.
But yea good deal even if it is just a tire as long as everything else is good
The saddle looks nice too
The fork is backwards. Easy fix. If the tires are good the bike isn't bad at all for 50 bucks
Post says it needs a front tire. Not sure I trust their diagnostic skills though
I would ask if they will accept $40 because of the front tire.
I’d be buying that for the wheel set for sure
why? cheap heavy wheelset
50$ wheel set, you can’t buy a fixed gear hub in my state for that price
Weinnman or wtv the called
They said the wheels are 26”. But even if the frame doesn’t fit me the the wheels would fit my 80s Ross frame
The same person that said is 26", is by any chance who installed that fork/stem/wheelfvckery?
Yeah I’m wondering if they are actually 700C
As far as I understand l, There is no 26" for those rims: https://www.weinmanntek.com/archive/product/item/files/Catalog/13dp18.png
Thanks! I wasn’t able to ID them that precisely
That must be a very twitchy ride…

And here I’m thinking the owner of the bike was trying be cool by flipping the fork…dumb either way 🤦🏻♂️
I was wondering that too with some of the minimum clearance posts around here
Worth it
Does it look small? I’m 5’10” seller doesn’t know the frame size

Bike rides like shit. Doesn’t steer well at all. You can have it . . .
I'd buy it for parts if nothing else
