who in there right mind would want to pay for scrap metal because that is all it is worth.

WOW... a bent frame for $299 plus $150 shipping.

That's the opening bid. The buy it now price is $499. WHAT A BARGAIN

 

[tallredboned]

before you judge...there are others priced wayyyyyy higher!

Yes and any bent frame is just scrap metal.

 

[RUNT58]

Not being judgmental, just don't see a use for a bent salvaged frame.
If there is a market for them I hope you get your asking price.

I wouldn't mind having a bent frame for an 1800 just to play with but, S & H is about all you would get from me. That is a lot to gamble with. What if the bend were in the wrong spot for your intentions. I want to cut it up, stretch it and make a custom rake with may be some other tricks on the fly just to see if I could? Not worth the asking price.

I have an actual question, if its a bent salvaged frame, how does it have a clear title? That's the first thing to give it a salvage title.

 

[Vinish]

I could easily be wrong but I thought "clear title" just meant it had no lien against it - that is, there is no outstanding loan on the bike. If I am correct (a big "if"), then a bike or frame could have both a clear and a salvaged title. What do others think about this? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller....

G'day,

Vinish

 

[trkrJeff]

Ok, yes, that could be. I was thinking its clear as in not salvaged.

 

[tallredboned]

Clear title means no liens does not matter if it is salvaged or not. The title is good to register in any state.

I saw a non bent one on ebay for 340.00 or so, just saying

 

[sizzle]

The price is high yes. I know people who buy bikes with no titles very cheap, then buy a frame with a title then use that title to get plates. Risky yes.
2004 1800c sold for 1700 with no title + 250 for frame and title and this guy has been driving it since 08. So yes a bent frame has some value.

 

[RUNT58]

Isn't that dishonest and ultimately illegal?

 

[trkrJeff]

Isn't that dishonest and ultimately illegal?

YES, and yes highly illegal!

 

[sizzle]

Isn't that dishonest and ultimately illegal?

Yes it is illegal if you get stopped and they check your serial number. It would be dishonest if you sold a bike with a different title.

 

[RUNT58]

Didn't want to give anyone bad ideas with the knowledge of the consequences.

 

[mscales]

This is exactly why I would never buy a "salvaged" title bike.
