Default Re: Horrors found on bike you've bought

Bought the beta knowing absolutely nothing about them, later found that the footpegs had both cracked/bent then been re-welded in the wrong position, making removing them a bit of a challenge as the bolts had also been welded. The sidestand also turned out to be badly bent/loose and one of the bolts knackered. I did ask why it leaned over so far on the stand but I was told "they're all like that"

Was also told the rear tyre had a slow puncture which turned out to be a spoke leaking air.
