sorry dude. Nice thought but it wont be a cheap bike finished.
Theres some costs the advertiser hasnt mentioned
Engineers report $150
Brake cert $50
Compliance $250
rerego $200
Then theres fork straightening if doable or replacement forks $100-250
Front wheel $100
handlebars $45.00
Other "stuff" $200
And thats allowing the chasis comes up straight which Im pretty sure it isn't ( I viewed the bike at turners)

costs get away from ya pretty fast on cheap projects

But wow, I wonder how the hell the rider managed to do that damage.
