Umm..... more than just a blemish, plus front wheel looks close to the pedals 😂

Top of down tube strategically excluded from any of the close up photos.

Lol, "blemish".

I bought the same model Bizango as this a while back as a winter bike. £140. I'm glad to say it didn't have any "slight blemishes" like this one does!😆

A blemished caused by battering off a D lock with the frame...

I know what would sort that geometry out. A big bend in the top tube like on an Ibis Ripmo.

I can't get my head around that bike at all. How has it ended up so squished looking?

Probably the camera angle but it looks abused and neglected.

Yeah I can't get my head around the angles.. head tube looks a good 10 degrees steeper than the seat tube!

I don't think it's the camera angle - in the photo with the "blemish" the front wheel still looks way too close to the downtube.

That looks rather like it's been firmly parked in the side of a car.

It isn't the camera angle - compare ST angle and HT angle with the bricks in the main side on image.

That has been walloped into a wall/car/chav rather firmly...

No, its foreshortening caused by the downward-looking camera. Plus it has one of those bonkers seat tubes that's leaning too far back. If the front really had been pushed back there would be cracking of the paint or ripples in the frame tubes.

Looks like the forks could be bent. If you imagine the pedals at 3 o'clock that front wheel looks like it'd be very close to the pedal

EDIT: in fact you can see it in one of the pictures.

Head angle looks a bit steep to me! The distance between the front wheel and downtube is way closer than the pic ^^above^^. It's been stacked into something quite hard. I'd be surprised if the headset was still working properly and if you look closely it seems the top tube is slightly curved upwards where it meets the downtube.

Okay yes I can see that now. It looks abused anyway so I wouldn't buy it.

Dunno about that Voodoo, but this thread has caused me to buy a new bass guitar off someone on Facebook. Well, going to see it tomorrow. Never looked at Facebook classifieds before! 😀
