Need photos of bike parts horror stories

Hi,

Im tweaking a course I run and I could really do with some photos of bits of bikes you have seen. Especially relating to MOT testable items

Im looking for things like:
Badly worn discs/pads
Dodgy tyres
Rotten frames
Nasty repairs
Bodge jobs etc

The bits Im currently using are mostly based on cars so Id like to use bike ones. Ive tried google images but its difficult to finds decent stuff.

I also need owners copyright permission to reproduce them etc

cheers
Matt

THere is a pic of a broken chain link in my profile. (tried to show it below so fingers crossed it'll work).

I dont know if its any help or not but its there if you want it.
Mechanic fitted a new chain and sprocket kit, he also fitted a split link rather than a rivot. It'd only been on about 2 weeks when I came to lube the chain one morning before setting off to work and noticed a big gap in the chain.
If the pic shows, you can see how the tension has caused teh link to splay as its been slowly pulled apart.

Thats the sort of thing

I remember that happening, I think it was some bloke off londonbikers. as far as I remember, he had the front wheel power coated and the process weakened the structure of the wheel.

thats rediculas, that sort of thing could really put you off biking.
