Why you should never buy a bike called "Tear Machine"

It will tear you apart and leave you in tears.

Not only explodes but the wheels disappear too.

The top tube should be the lightest tube, it's under
the least stress. Once the down tube fails there
shouldn't be much keeping the front of the bike
attached. I've seen steel bikes fail in the same
manner.

It was clearly shipped on United Airlines. Crushed would be the operative
word, I believe.
