It's a Strida

This is franken:

but why

That's a fucking serious rear tyre for a Strida.

Disc-road / Gravel bike

Just bought a Samson rat. It's going to be a u-locked city bike so I may leave it alone. I can always make it look pretty again with powdercoat/ebay Samson decal set but it has some character.

Just a tiny top tube crease...basically 275 quid/$400 shipped with a Sugino BB and Chris King headset.

Sounds like a lot for a creased top tube!

Sorry, creased is the wrong word. I meant fingernail sized shallow dent. Anything similar over on NJS Export is considered a "light dent."
The average cost of a Samson with a similar single dent is usually $550-600 (not including $100 shipping) Example...

I couldn't care less about the pretty paint.

This is more of a creased top tube...

So, it can't handle kerbs etc, is minutely quicker than walking and makes you look like an utter plum.
